Is it for now or for always
the world hangs on a stalk?
Is it a trick or a trysting-place
the woods we have found to walk?

Is it a mirage or miracle
your lips that lift at mine
and the sun’s like a juggler’s juggling balls
are they a sham or a sign?

Shine out, my sudden angel
break fear with breast and brow
I take you now and for always
for always is always now
