ANTISTROPHE 4

Algernon Charles Swinburne

If thou know not, O thou fairest among women, If thou see not where the signs of him abide, Lift thine eyes up to the light that stars grow dim in, To the morning whence he comes to take thy side.

None but he can bear the light that love wraps him in, When he comes on earth to take himself a bride.
