I seem to have loved you in numberless forms, numberless times,
\nIn life after life, in age after age forever.
\nMy spell-bound heart has made and remade the necklace of songs
\nThat you take as a gift, wear round your neck in your many forms<\/p>\n
In life after life, in age after age forever.<\/p>\n
Whenever I hear old chronicles of love, its age-old pain,
\nIts ancient tale of being apart or together,
\nAs I stare on and on into the past, in the end you emerge
\nClad in the light of a pole-star piercing the darkness of time:<\/p>\n
You become an image of what is remembered forever.<\/p>\n
You and I have floated here on the stream that brings from the fount
\nAt the heart of time love of one for another.
\nWe have played alongside millions of lovers, shared in the same
\nShy sweetness of meeting, the same distressful tears of farewell –
\nOld love, but in shapes that renew and renew forever.<\/p>\n
Today it is heaped at your feet, it has found its end in you,
\nThe love of all man’s days both past and forever:
\nUniversal joy, universal sorrow, universal life,
\nThe memories of all loves merging with this one love of ours –
\nAnd the songs of every poet both past and forever.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
