B. Fairchild

Were all the heavens an overladen bough

Of ripened benediction lowered above me,

What could I crave, soul-satisfied as now

That thou dost love me?

The door is shut. To each unsheltered Blessing

Henceforth I say, "Depart! What would'st thou of me?"

Beggared I am of want, this boon possessing,

That thou dost love me.
