Mio Destino by Gilbert Parker — Read

Here, making count, at every step I see / Something in her, like to a hidden thought / Within my life, that long time I had sought, / But never found till her soul spoke to me.

And if she said a thousand times, "I did / Not call thee, thou cam'st seeking; not my voice / Was it thou heard'st; thy love was not my choice!"

I should straightway reply, "That of thee hid,

Even from thyself, lest it should startle thee, / Hath called me, made me slave and king in one; / And when the mists of Time shall rise, and we

Stand forth, it shall be said, Since Time begun / Ye two were called as one from that high hill, / Where the creating Master hath His will. "
