“Flame unto flame shall flow and be
Within thy heart and mine as one.”
By Still Waters (1906)
Context: When the lips I breathed upon
Asked for such love as equals claim
I looked where all the stars were gone
Burned in the day's immortal flame.
"Come thou like yon great dawn to me
From darkness vanquished, battles done:
Flame unto flame shall flow and be
Within thy heart and mine as one.".
The Nuts of Knowledge (1903)
Context: It was the warrior within
Who called 'Awake, prepare for fight:
Yet lose not memory in the din:
Make of thy gentleness thy might:
'Make of thy silence words to shake
The long-enthroned kings of earth:
Make of thy will the force to break
Their towers of wantonness and mirth.
“Break my hard heart,
Jesus my Lord;
In the inmost part
Hide Thy sweet word.”
