Sidney Lanier - Acknowledgment II lyrics

By the more height of thy sweet stature grown, Twice-eyed with thy gray vision set in mine, I ken far lands to wifeless men unknown, I compa** stars for one-s**ed eyes too fine. No text on sea-horizons cloudily writ, No maxim vaguely starred in fields or skies, But this wise thou-in-me deciphers it: Oh, thou'rt the Height of heights, the Eye of eyes. Not hardest fortune's most unbounded stress Can bind my soul nor hurl it from on high, Possessing thee, the self of loftiness, And very light that sight discovers by. Howe'er thou turn'st, wrong Earth! still Love's in sight For we are taller than the breadth of night.
