Candle

??? Which dream is floating in thine eyes? Why tears thou shed in darkish night? A flickering flame of hope art thou For aching hearts a mirthful sight Which temp, which grave which forlorn road You mourn for which delightful sight? In starless nights show thou the way To travellers wandering thus forlorn In misty nights near haunted ruins They read some ancient mystic yarn Thy lingering eyes why weepst thou thus? From centuries why thy wounds are green? Thou weepst for Psyche or for Ruth In balmy dark them thou hath seen! Thou beauteous than the honeyed eve: Thou glittering than the stars in sky Thou with whose charming gloomy light In chariots come moths and go by Who destined thou to live in gloom ? Who unto thou this doom hath brought? My soul_mate it is but the one Whom carried thou in thine own heart
