Only of thee and me

By Louis Untermeyere

1885-1977


Only of thee and me the night wind sings,
         Only of us the sailors speak at sea,
The earth is filled with wondered whisperings
         Only of thee and me.

Only of thee and me the breakers chant,
         Only of us the stir in bush and tree;
The rain and sunshine tell the eager plant
         Only of thee and me.

Only of thee and me, till all shall fade;
         Only of us the whole world's thoughts can be --
For we are Love, and God Himself is made
         Only of thee and me.
