This stoic countenance is but a veil
That shrouds my yearning heart; it keeps a pace
Which reveals not the roiling 'neath the mail,
Nor this death I live, unknowst to thy face.
Oh, uncage the caged passions of my heart!
Rove thy kisses wild! - Only thou this gate
Shall breach; only thou shall break apart
The mortar and the stone -- else let the Fate
Unchanged prevail and stay me in my Keep -
So what of the moat that holds but cremains
Of the past, settling ever in the deep? --
When above a bridge, drawn to thy domains:
Then breathe a kiss onto my soul, thy breath
The envoy of the life that kills this death.
