I know not what Love is,–a memory
Of Heav’n once known,–a yearning for some goal
That shines afar,–a dream that doth control
The spirit, shadowing forth what is to be.
But this I know, my heart hath found in thee
The crown of life, the glory of the soul,
The healing of all strife, the making whole
Of my imperfect being,–yea, of me!
For to mine eyes thine eyes, through Love, reveal
The smile of God; to me God’s healing breath
Comes through thy hallowed lips whose pray’r is Love.
Thy touch gives life! And oh, let me but feel
Thy hovering hand my closing eyes above,–
Then, then, my soul will triumph over Death.
(Nizamat Jung)
