<h2> ONE FACE I SEE </h2>
<p>One face I see by thine whene’er I hold<br/>
Converse with things that are or things that were;<br/>
Whene’er I seek life’s hidden folds to stir,<br/>
And watch the inner to the outer rolled.<br/>
<br/>
Dost thou not know her, O beloved one?<br/>
Hast thou not felt her sunshine on thy face?<br/>
In me hast thou not learned some signs to trace<br/>
Of that dear soul who calleth me her son?<br/>
<br/>
Such as I was that in thy countenance<br/>
Found favour, from her it was gathered most.<br/>
To my mad youth her gentle surveillance<br/>
<br/>
Was like a watch-fire on a rock-bound coast.<br/>
She drew about me motherhood, and thou<br/>
Hast with Love’s holy chrism touched my brow.<br/></p>
