XXXII
The furthest wind that ever blew    Blows but to proveThat I have made no cage for you    Out of my love.
No lock, no bolt, no key, no door,The sky our roof, the sea our floor,The air our scent, our cloak the light,A liberty more free than flight,A stillness that, outpacing pace,Dismisses time and widens space,A lamp of loneliness alightIn homage to the infinite—So have I emptied in my pride    The world we knew,Of all the colours that could hide    My love for you,And the cold miracles that I denied    You have made true.
