Men Loved Wholly Beyond Wisdom

 Men loved wholly beyond wisdom
Have the staff without the banner.

Like a fire in a dry thicket
Rising within women's eyes
Is the love men must return.

Heart, so subtle now, and trembling,
What a marvel to be wise.
,
To love never in this manner!
To be quiet in the fern
Like a thing gone dead and still,
Listening to the prisoned cricket
Shake its terrible dissembling
Music in the granite hill.
