9 years today since Helen and I got married! Happy and blessed years. Had I but earlier known that from the eyes Of that bright soul that fires me like the sun, I might have drawn new strength my race to run, Burning as burns the phoenix ere it dies; Even as the stag or lynx or leopard flies To seek his pleasure and his pain to shun, Each word, each smile of her would I have won, Flying where now sad age all flight denies. Yet why complain? For even now I find In that glad angels face, so full of rest, Health and content, hearts ease and peace of mind Perchance I might have been less simply blest, Finding her sooner: if tis age alone That lets me soar with her to seek Gods throne. Michaelangelo
