ONLY in my deep heart I love you, sweetest heart.
  Many another vesture hath the soul, I pray
Call me not forth from this. If from the light I part
  Only with clay I cling unto the clay.
 

And ah! my bright companion, you and I must go
  Our ways, unfolding lonely glories, not out own,
Nor from each other gathered, but an inward glow
  Breathed by the Lone One on the seeker lone.
 

If for the heart’s own sake we break the heart, we may
  When the last ruby drop dissolves in diamond light
Meet in a deeper vesture in another day.
  Until that dawn, dear heart, good-night, good-night.
