Before

O I have loved before and much like this
All happy all delightful nothing wrong
A constant thrilling and adoring song
A desperate certainty of waking bliss
Where kiss forever followed hard on kiss
And as we loved we swept the world along
With us in joy so the eternal throng
Received their ecstasy from us. I miss
Them sometimes or I did before I found
In you more solid and more lasting love.
I am not drunk this time. I see and clear
But still desire beyond every bound
And find you soberly the image of
All I could wish for or ever found dear.
