[read Elizabeth's first]
Amen, my Beloved, to thy dreams!!
For ALL I had dreamed, thy words summed!
After it all, there is this Mystery, God-timed,
of our similarities in ALL of Life's schemes:
awsome Hope's lifting of twain hearts above;
Beauty's fullest, fairest blessing of innocent Love!
Whether we deserve such blessed Love, who decides?
Cannot others leave alone such Love as here grows?
My Dear Heart, I bring ALL Love my entire life knows!
And, above all, Eternal Love its subjects never chides.
Doth God impart, now, double-blessing due double-badness?
I care not! Nor whither goeth your, my, dispelled sadness!
Wisened minds would give their answers to all;
be-loving hearts softly succumb to each's call.
