...day I wooed and lost, 
The day I wooed and won, or wooed in play: 
Tho' you were Juliet or Rosalind,

Of the probable stars;
I will attempt the unstartled steppes of dream 
Until I find the Only Flower 
Which shall keep (I think) your little heart
While the moon comes out of the sea....Read more of this...
