At the Well... Robert Graves...
To work it out even a thought better
Than ever before- yet a thought rare enough
To raise a sigh of wonder-
That is your art (he said) but mine also
Since first I fell upon the secret
And sighed for wonder that our dry mouths
After a world of travel
Were drawn together by the same spell
To drink at the same well.
Coincidence (she said) continues with us,
Secret by secret,
Love's magic being no more than abstinacy
In love's perfection-
Like the red apple, highest on the tree
Reserved for you by me.
