<h2> MIO DESTINO </h2>
<p>Here, making count, at every step I see<br/>
Something in her, like to a hidden thought<br/>
Within my life, that long time I had sought,<br/>
But never found till her soul spoke to me.<br/>
<br/>
And if she said a thousand times, “I did<br/>
Not call thee, thou cam’st seeking; not my voice<br/>
Was it thou heard’st; thy love was not my choice!”<br/>
I should straightway reply, “That of thee hid,<br/>
<br/>
Even from thyself, lest it should startle thee,<br/>
Hath called me, made me slave and king in one;<br/>
And when the mists of Time shall rise, and we<br/>
<br/>
Stand forth, it shall be said, Since Time begun<br/>
Ye two were called as one from that high hill,<br/>
Where the creating Master hath His will.”<br/></p>
