Life and Love Annotated

I.
Fast this Life of mine was dying,
&nbspBlind already and calm as death,
Snowflakes on her bosom lying
&nbspScarcely heaving with her breath.

II.
Love came by, and having known her
&nbspIn a dream of fabled lands,
Gently stooped, and laid upon her
&nbspMystic chrism of holy hands;

III.
Drew his smile across her folded
&nbspEyelids, as the swallow dips;
Breathed as finely as the cold did
&nbspThrough the locking of her lips.

IV.
So, when Life looked upward, being
&nbspWarmed and breathed on from above,
What sight could she have for seeing,
&nbspEvermore ... but only Love?
