English poem
ONE AND ONE.
by Rose Hawthorne Lathrop (1851–1926)
The thanking heart can only silence keep; The breaking heart can only die alone: Our happy love above abysses deep Of unguessed power hovers, and is gone!
Come, take my hand, O friend I take for life! You cannot reach my soul through touch or gaze; Be our full lips with infinite meanings rife: The longed-for words, which of us ever says?
