Wilfrid Scawen Blunt - Esther, A Sonnet Sequence: LIII
Work rating: Low

For Esther was a woman most complete
 In all her ways of loving. And with me
 Dealt as one deals who careless of deceit
 And rich in all things is of all things free.
 She did not stop with me to feel her way
 Into my heart, because she all hearts knew,
 But, like some prodigal heir of yesterday
 Just in possession, counted not her due
 And grandly gave. O brave humility!
 O joy that kneels! O pride that stoops to tears!
 She spent where others had demanded fee,
 Served where all service had of right been hers,
 Casting her bread of life upon love`s ways,
 Content to find it after many days.
