1. Fold me fast, O God-snake of Eden!(Sing Eden Bower!)What more prize than love to impel thee?Grip and lip my limbs as I tell thee!...Lo! sweet Snake, the travail and treasure,---
Eden bower
3. Sudden LightI have been here before, But when or how I cannot tell: I know the grass beyond the door, The sweet keen smell, The sighing sound, the lights around the shore. You have been mine before,— How long ago I may not know: But just when at that swallow's soar Your neck turn'd so, Some veil did fall,—I knew it all of yore. Has this been thus before? And shall not thus time's eddying flight Still with our lives our love restore In death's despite, And day and night yield one delight once more?
The Complete Poetical Works Of Dante Gabriel Rossetti
