All Love

If thy head would touch, but one unfold,
unto my thought, not hold -
as when God's will is only fled, not told.

Could I but rest, on any spot called worth,
ensuing from a time of trailsome birth?

That will of mine, in you -
all love, and no more earth,
is Heaven's mode of calling, known as girth!
