Title: Thou Comest! All Is Said Without A Word
Author: Elizabeth Barrett Browning [ More Titles by Browning]
Sonnet XXXI. Thou comest! all is said without a word. I sit beneath thy looks, as children do In the noon-sun, with souls that tremble through Their happy eyelids from an unaverred Yet prodigal inward joy. Behold, I erred In that last doubt! and yet I cannot rue The sin most, but the occasion--that we two Should for a moment stand unministered By a mutual presence. Ah, keep near and close, Thou dovelike help! and, when my fears would rise, With thy broad heart serenely interpose: Brood down with thy divine sufficiencies These thoughts which tremble when bereft of those, Like callow birds left desert to the skies.
[The end] Elizabeth Barrett Browning's poem: Thou Comest! All Is Said Without A Word ________________________________________________
