9My delight and thy delightWalking, like two angels white,In the gardens of the night:My desire and thy desireTwining to a tongue of fire,Leaping live, and laughing higher;Thro’ the everlasting strifeIn the mystery of life.Love, from whom the world begunHath the secret of the sun.Love can tell, and love alone,Whence the million stars were strewn,Why each atom knows its own,How, in spite of woe and death,Gay is life, and sweet is breath:This he taught us, this we knew,Happy in his science true,Hand in hand as we stoodNeath the shadows of the wood,Heart to heart as we layIn the dawning of the day.
