O thou my Destiny! O thou
  My own—my very Love—my Lord!
Whom from the first day until now
  My heart, divining, hath adored
  So perfectly it hath abhorred
The tie of each frail human vow—
O I would whisper in thine ear—
  Yea, may I not, once, in the clear
Pure night, when, only, silver shod
  The angels walk?—thy name, I fear
And love, and tremble saying—GOD!
