There was before me

 There was, before me,
Mile upon mile
Of snow, ice, burning sand.

And yet I could look beyond all this,
To a place of infinite beauty;
And I could see the loveliness of her
Who walked in the shade of the trees.

When I gazed,
All was lost
But this place of beauty and her.

When I gazed,
And in my gazing, desired,
Then came again
Mile upon mile,
Of snow, ice, burning sand.
