("It will be easy to love you...")
Muna Lee
Stronger and subtler with each toilsome day;
Yet steel my soul to swear, "They shall not pass."
Ix
It will be easy to love you when I am dead-
Shadowed from light and shut away from sound,
Held deeper than the wild roots underground,
Where nothing can be changed and no more said.
All will be uttered then: beyond the dread
Of failure in you or me, I shall have found
Most perfect quietness to fold me round,
Where I can dream while all Time's years are sped.
But now Life roars about me like a sea,
Sears me like flame, is thunder in my ears.
There is no time for song, no space for tears,
And every vision has forsaken me.
In'a world earthquake-shaken, lightning-charred,
Love is the hardest where all things are hard.
