| 39. Only of Thee and Me |
| | | By Louis Untermeyer |
| |
| |
| 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, | 5 |
| 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— | 10 |
| For we are Love, and God Himself is made | |
| Only of thee and me. | |
