This charm is wasted on the earth and sky,
Tell them, dear, that if eyes were made for seeing,

Why thou wert there, O rival of the rose!
I never thought to ask, I never knew:
But, in my simple ignorance, suppose
The self-same Power that brought me there brought you.”

Lighted cliffs, against dawns
Of days people will die on.”
