Christopher Brennan - I Am Shut Out Of Mine Own Heart
Work rating: Low

I am shut out of mine own heart
because my love is far from me,
nor in the wonders have I part
that fill its hidden empery:

the wildwood of adventurous thought
and lands of dawn my dream had won,
the riches out of Faery brought
are buried with our bridal sun.

And I am in a narrow place,
and all its little streets are cold,
because the absence of her face
has robb`d the sullen air of gold.

My home is in a broader day:
at times I catch it glistening
thro` the dull gate, a flower`d play
and odour of undying spring:

the long days that I lived alone,
sweet madness of the springs I miss`d,
are shed beyond, and thro` them blown
clear laughter, and my lips are kiss`d:

- and here, from mine own joy apart,
I wait the turning of the key: -
I am shut out of mine own heart
because my love is far from me.
