Sarojini Naidu - The Illusion of Love
Work rating: Medium

Beloved, you may be as all men say
Only a transient spark
Of flickering flame set in loam of clay – 
I care not …since you kindle all my dark
With the immortal lustres of the day.

And as all men deem, dearest, you may be
Only a common shell
Chance-winnowed by the sea-winds from the sea –
The subtle murmurs of eternity.

And tho’ you are, like men or mortal race,
Only a hapless thing
That Death may mar and destiny efface – 
I care not … since unto my heart you bring
The very vision of God’s dwelling-place.
