\title{Hope}
\stanza*
I sometimes vision you with thought \\
And ask myself: but are you \\
The one in whom the dreams I wrought \\
Grew whole as in me yours grew? \\

\stanza*
With double mind and single heart \\
Creation is perfected \\
And mind's desires and joyful art \\
In souls' mirror reflected. \\

\stanza*
The question which I cannot ask \\
And only Time can answer \\
You know. Yet Life's a heavy task \\
And Death more weighty after. \\

\stanza*
All I can do is bare myself \\
And hope that as you see me \\
I am to you as you yourself \\
Are to me, and you love me. \\
