Our souls have touched each other, br Two fountains from one jet; br Like children of one mother br Our leaping thoughts have met. br br We were as far asunder br As green isles in the sea; br And now we ask in wonder br How that could ever be. br br I dare not call thee lover br Nor any earthly name, br Though love's full cup flows over br As water quick with flame. br br When two strong minds have mated br As only spirits may, br The wold shines new created br In a diviner day. br br Yea, though hard fate may sever br My fleeting self from thine, br Thy thought will live for ever br And ever grow in mine.
