LOVE, THOU hast made great my life with death's magnificence, and

hast tinted all my thoughts and dreams with radiant hues of thy farewell rays.

The tear-washed limpid light reveals at life's last sunset-point

the hints of Paradise, where descending flame of Kiss from

starry sphere of love lights the sorrows of our earth to

splendour of their end, in one blazing ecstasy of uttermost extinction.

Love, thou hast made one vast wonder Life and Death for me.
