AMONG THE MULTITUDE.
AMONG the men and women the multitude, |
I perceive one picking me out by secret and divine signs, |
Acknowledging none else, not parent, wife, husband, brother,
child, any nearer than I am,
|
Some are baffled, but that one is not—that one knows me. |
Ah lover and perfect equal, |
I meant that you should discover me so by faint indirections, |
And I when I meet you mean to discover you by the like in you. |
