Page:The Silken Tassel By Ardeshar Khabardar 1918.pdf/7

 TO ONE WHO KNOWS '' If Thou knowest, then I know ; If not Thou, then who on earth ? Light has seen my outer glow, Dark has felt my inner dearth.

And if Thou knowest, what more aught Be brought to Thee by words that swarm ? For words are shadows o f the thought, That simply show a shapeless form.

The veils dividing Thee and me, Like clouds, are lifted by Thy grace; Take me in Love’s eternity. And hold me in Thy firm embrace !

Human love is love and grief: Love the plant and grief the flower; In Thy heart I find relief. Where Love and Joy grow in one bower. ''
