I know now it cannot end
Eternity would have to bend
Before our love’s large strength
Which will suffer no reverse
Infinity’s enduring length
Is not as far as love can send
Its message to the universe.
Three boats ride at anchor in the calm night
Warning lights winking without respite
And the far headlands to left and right...
Your garden – I can hardly see
Under this glooming summer – dusk sky
The stalwart gnomes peer out at me...
