Erotica/Love's Guidance


​
Love's Guidance
Give me thy hand and guide me, Love,Where golden blossoms gem those fieldsThrough which Life's waters gently moveBearing the lilies' silver shieldsUpon her breast, past lowing herds,Neath shady haunts of building birdsWhose carols greet the Spring when yieldsNature to Love.
​
When Spring is past stay with me, Love,When wolds lie panting under June,When tempering earthward tears to proveHeaven's pity cease to fall, we swoonWrapped in heat's hazy hanging mistWith seeming far-off souls and listTo that immeasurable tuneNature plays Love.
When whiter weather holds the landIn iron chains and shrill alarmsThe north winds blow, take thou my handAgain, Oh Love, and from all harmsBred errant ways withdraw my feet,Leading me to thy kingdom sweet,Of changeless skies, where in thine armsEnfold me, Love!
