Explore "Bei Hennef" by D.H. Lawrence on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
The little river twittering in the twilight, / The wan, wondering look of the pale sky, / This is almost bliss.
And everything shut up and gone to sleep, / All the troubles and anxieties and pain / Gone under the twilight.
Only the twilight now, and the soft "Sh! " of the river / That will last for ever.
And at last I know my love for you is here, / I can see it all, it is whole like the twilight, / It is large, so large, I could not see it before / Because of the little lights and flickers and interruptions, / Troubles, anxieties and pains.
You are the call and I am the answer, / You are the wish, and I the fulfilment, / You are the night, and I the day. / What else -- it is perfect enough, / It is perfectly complete, / You and I, / What more -- -- ? / Strange, how we suffer in spite of this!
