       # 2020-08-15 - My Delight And Thy Delight by Robert Bridges
       
 (IMG) Star angels
       
       My delight and thy delight
       Walking, like two angels white,
       In the gardens of the night:
       
       My desire and thy desire
       Twining to a tongue of fire,
       Leaping live, and laughing higher;
       
       Through the everlasting strife
       In the mystery of life.
       
       Love, from whom the world begun,
       Hath the secret of the sun.
       
       Love can tell, and love alone,
       Whence the million stars were strown,
       Why each atom knows its own,
       How, in spite of woe and death,
       Gay is life, and sweet is breath:
       
       This it taught us, this we knew,
       Happy in its science true,
       Hand in hand as we stood
       'Neath the shadows of the wood,
       Heart to heart as we lay
       In the dawning of the day.
