‘ LOVE IS WINGED FOR TWO’

George Meredith

Love is winged for two, In the worst he weathers, When their hearts are tied; But if they divide,

O too true! Cracks a globe, and feathers, feathers, Feathers all the ground bestrew. I was breast of morning sea,

Rosy plume on forest dun, I the laugh in rainy fleeces, While with me She made one.

Now must we pick up our pieces, For that then so winged were we.
