THE ONE DESIRE by ARTHUR WILLIAM SYMONS

Poet Analysis

First Line: IF I THINK OF YOUR SOUL, I SEE
Last Line: COME TO ME BODY OR SOUL!

If I think of your soul, I see
Your body's beauty; and then
I pray to your body again,
And your soul answers me.
So to possess you whole,
Two-fold ever the same,
Come to me light or flame,
Come to me body or soul!
