That when you found me at last; your age…long desire found utter peace in my gentle speech and my eyes and lips and flowing hair?

Is it then true that the mystery of the Infinite is written on this little forehead of mine?

Tell me; my lover; if all this be true。

The Gardener  33

I love you; beloved。 Forgive me my love。

Like a bird losing its way I am caught。

When my heart was shaken,it lost its veil and was naked。 Cover it with pity; beloved; and forgive me my love。

If you cannot love me; beloved; forgive me my pain。

Do not look askance at me from afar。

I will steal back to my corner and sit in the dark。

With both hands I will cover my naked shame。

Turn your face from me; beloved; and forgive me my pain。

If you love me; beloved; forgive me my joy。

When my heart is borne away by the flood of happiness; do not smile at my perilous abandonment。

When I sit on my throne and rule you with my tyranny of love; when like a goddess I grant you my favour; bear with my pride; beloved; and forgive me my joy。

The Gardener  34

Do not go; my love; without asking my leave。

I have watched all night; and now my eyes are heavy with sleep。

I fear lest I lose you when I am sleeping。

Do not go; my love; without asking my leave。

I start up and stretch my hands to touch you。 I ask myself; “Is it a dream?”

Could I but entangle your feet with my heart and hold them fast to my breast!

Do not go; my love; without asking my leave。

The Gardener  35

Lest I should know you too easily; you play with me。

You blind me with flashes of laughter to hide your tears。

I know; I know your art。

You never say the word you would。

Lest I should not prize you; you elude me in a thousand ways。

Lest I should confuse you with the crowd; you stand aside。

I know; I know your art。

You never walk the path you would。

Your claim is more than that of others; that is why you are silent。

With playful carelessness you avoid my gifts。

I know; I know your art。

You never will take what you would。

The Gardener  36

He whispered;“My love; raise your eyes。”

I sharply chid him; and said“Go!”; but he did not stir。

He stood before me and held both my hands。 I said;“Leave me!”; but he did not go。
