<h2> THE CHALICE </h2>
<p>Not by my power alone, but thou and I<br/>
Together thinking, working, loving on<br/>
Achievement-wards, as all brave souls have gone,<br/>
Perchance should find new star-drifts in the sky<br/>
<br/>
That curves above humanity, and set<br/>
Some new interpretation on life’s page;<br/>
Should serve the strivings of a widening age,<br/>
And fashion wisdom from the social fret.<br/>
<br/>
Deep did Time’s lances go; thou pluck’st them forth,<br/>
And on my sullen woundings laid the balm<br/>
Of thy life’s sweetness. Oh, let my love be worth<br/>
<br/>
The keeping. My head beneath thy palm,<br/>
Once more I lift Love’s chalice to thine eyes:<br/>
Not till thou blessest me will I arise.<br/></p>
