Two in One + 

Were thou and I the white pinions + 

On some eager, heaven-born dove, + 

Swift would we mount to the old dominions, + 

To our rest of old, my love! + 

Were thou and I trembling strands + 

In music’s enchanted line, + 

We would wait and wait for magic hands + 

To untwist the magic twine. + 

Were we two sky-tints, thou and I, + 

Thou the golden, I the red; + 

We would quiver and glow and darken and die, + 

And love until we were dead! + 

Nearer than wings of one dove, + 

Than tones or colours in chord, + 

We are one⁠—and safe, and for ever, my love, + 

Two thoughts in the heart of one Lord. + 
