Poem

Kiss Youth, Heart

Kiss youth, O heart,Love's kiss, O heart;
Pour forth thy strain, O heart,From fountains of thy tears.
Sing, O hope of my heart,Rejoice in love, O heart;
Illumine night's dark part,Sit thou between the ribs.
Take thou my heart as thou desirest,I won my heart as I aspired;
My heart is thine as thou requirest,From goblets of bright fire.
Farewell, O heart,To memories of pain;
I won, O heart,The dreams I sought in vain.
Shatter, O heart,The phantoms of the throng;
Pains have departed, O heart,Hopes draw near, O heart;
Leave sorrows, O heart,Fill the world with candlelight.
