| During Music |
| | | Arthur Symons (18651945) |
| |
| |
| THE MUSIC had the heat of blood, | |
| A passion that no words can reach; | |
| We sat together, and understood | |
| Our own hearts speech. | |
| |
| We had no need of word or sign, | 5 |
| The music spoke for us, and said | |
| All that her eyes could read in mine | |
| Or mine in hers had read. | |
