Two lives made one, the man and wife...

Two lives made one, the man and wife

( A mystic thing to world of strife ),

Serenity of oneness, wholeness,

Repose of love as the law of life!

Uncaught by skill of painter's art,

There glows a radiance of the heart

In which the naked truth, as sculpture,

Is seen in colorless calm apart,—

A luminous calm of spiritual light,

Dissolving drop serene of sight

Oft gathering o'er the eye of reason,

And robing day in the folds of night.
