Sonnet V

I THINK of thee in watches of the night,
        I feel thee near;
Like mystic lamps consumed with too much light
        Thine eyes burn clear.

The barriers that divide us in the day
        And hide from view,
Like idle cobwebs now are brushed away
        Between us two.


I probe the deep recesses of thy mind
        Without control,
And in its inmost labyrinth I find
        My own lost soul.


No longer like an exile on the earth
        I wildly roam,
I was thy double from the hour of birth
        And thou my home.
