To dare still to be human, being maid. My richest offering to this day to bring. And face the mist-veiled morrow unafraid. As chaste Brunhilde, fire-girt, shrank to yield Her warrior glory for love's greater prize. So may I keep my dream, till Love, revealed. Stands in his might before my waking eyes. He must be hero-born who strives to move My pulsing heart-beats to the call of love. Digitized by Google spiremRiWD VII. There comes to me at times a discontent. When all that I have counted gold ...seems dross. Wherein the gain of days in labor spent Is far outweighed by futile sense of loss; And little joys, that tilled the crannied space In duty's sheltering wall 'gainst grim despair. No longer hold for me th' accustomed place. And faint, far winds of passion echo there. *Tis then I turn me to the thought of thee. And say, ''It is my woman-loneliness. Had I found love, this yearning would not be, Or, being, it would die in thy caress." And yet, if life must pay the price of pain. Greater the travail for love's greater gain.
