Occasional Impressions

Gemini Twin

I hid my love beneath friendship’s clear smile...

I hid my love beneath friendship’s clear smile
Professed it not even to the diffident stars
And the singing passed away unheard,
For ever more to echo through the empty years.

I told my love, and its heart’s life was vibrant,
Throbbing with the earth and all things growing.
But the song-maker found only the last withered leaves
Limpened by the frost, lifeless in the ice-wind’s blowing.
