Come, let us drink our longing to the lees,And find our joy in meeting, though no ease;
Come, let us cut through days with patient heart,And quench with meeting's flame the embers' smart;
Come, let us mingle sickness with our cure,And soar above the dreams that parting lure;
Come, bring thy light into the dark of night—Come, bring a pulse that wakes the heart to light.
