Wert thou betrayed by thine own joy?George William Russell

That know not what they seek or press,
From whom the lure for ever slips
And fails their phantom tenderness?

The flower of pity grew:
By unseen hands 't was tended
And fed with holy dew.

The ancient ways of love:
But in my heart I built a Paradise,
A nest there for the dove.

You and I have trod the backward way
To the happy heart of yesterday,
To the love we felt in ages past.
George William Russell
A friend I greet
In each flower and tree and wind-
Oh, but life is sweet, is sweet!
