- Now!
- by Robert Browning
- Out of your whole life give but a moment!
- All of your life that has gone before,
- All to come after it,-so you ignore,
- So you make perfect the present; condense,
- In a rapture of rage, for perfection's endowment,
- Thought and feeling and soul and sense,
- Merged in a moment which give me at last
- You around me for once, you beneath me, above me-
- Me, sure that, despite of time future, time past,
- This tick of lifetime's one moment you love me!
- How long such suspension may linger? Ah, Sweet,
- The moment eternal-just that and no more-
- When ecstasy's utmost we clutch at the core,
- While cheeks burn, arms open, eyes shut and lips meet!
