Not Heat Flames up and Consumes.
NOT heat flames up and consumes, Not sea-waves hurry in and out, Not the air, delicious and dry, the air of the ripe sum-mer, bears lightly along white down-balls of
myriads of seeds, Wafted, sailing gracefully, to drop where they may; Not these—O none of these, more than the flames of
me, consuming, burning for his love whom I love! O none, more than I, hurrying in and out; —Does the tide hurry, seeking something, and never
give up? O I the same; O nor down-balls, nor perfumes, nor the high, rain-
emitting clouds, are borne through the open air, Any more than my Soul is borne through the open
air, Wafted in all directions, O love, for friendship, for
you.
