I Make Another World
| I make another world just for us. I start to make it now, because of you, Because you’ve made the world a Hesperus, A dooming star, and so we need a new Edenic place to make our love. No tree Is veiled with sly temptation or with threat In our fresh planet. Warm eternity Is naked in the air, where it is met By cooling breezes twice as beautiful. Four times as difficult to live in for Anyone who knows the word “dutiful,” This other world is cast from heaven’s ore. ..There every creature has six wings to fly ….And men who love can’t find a way to die.
