Work rating: Low

HE DESIRES THE IMPOSSIBLE
 If it were possible the fierce sun should,
 Standing in heaven unloved, companionless,
 Enshrinèd be in some white--bosomed cloud,
 And so forget his rage and loneliness;
 If it were possible the bitter seas
 Should suddenly grow sweet, till at their brink
 Birds with bright eyes should stoop athirst and drink;
 --If these were possible; and if to these
 It should be proved that love has sometimes been
 `Twixt lambs and leopards, doves and hawks, that snow
 Clasps the bare rocks, that rugged oaks grow green
 In the west wind, that pinkest blossoms blow
 Upon May`s blackest thorn;--then, only then,
 I might believe that love between us two
 Was still in heaven`s gift, sweet child.--And you?
