ALL IN ONE.

ONCE when a maiden maidenly went by,
Or when I found some wonder in the grass,
Or when a purple sunset-slow did pass,
Or flaming star fell silent through the sky;
Once when I heard a singing ecstasy,
Or saw the moon's face in the river's glass
Then I remembered that for me, alas!
This beauty must for ever and ever die.
But now I may thus sorrow never more;
From fleeting beauty thou hast torn the pall,
For of all beauty, Love, thou art the core,
And though the empty shadow fading fall,
Though lesser birds lift up their wings and soar,
In having thee alone, Love, I have all.
