Book excerpt: Excerpt from St. Thomas a Becket: And Other Poems To My Wife. To her I met in manhood's dawn, And seeing gave my soul in love To her by whom I then was drawn With mystic notes of cooing dove: To her who fill'd my tranced eye, A vision of the higher light, And brought the radiant Heavens anigh, And vocal made the stilly night: To her whose form of maiden grace Did waft my thought to Eden's streams, And gave this Earth its olden face When Eve with angels talk'd in dreams And drew from shining Worlds afar A life deep wed to love and song; Where silent is all storm of war, And Music walks the summer long: About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
