I am so poor, I cannot pour the gold
Of virgin gleaming love before your feet,
Timid, ablush with hope, I may not greet
Your loveliness with raptures never told.
I am not young nor middle-aged nor old,
But in me now all ages seem to meet,
And mingled Youth with Eld perchance complete
A tranquil lover, nor passionate nor cold . . .
Such was my mood before I met your eyes
Or saw you smile, your red lips delicate
With youthfulness, before your tender mouth
Had voiced the knell of my long loveless state,
Bidding my frozen soul awake and rise
Beneath Love's warm and fragrant spicy South.
