Passion Flower

Choose who will the wiser part,
I have held her heart to heart;
And have felt her heart-strings stirred,
And her soul's still singing heard

For one golden-haloed hour
Of Love's life the passion-flower.

So the world may roll or rest,
I have tasted of its best;

And shall laugh while I have breath
At thy dart and thee, O Death!
