Summum Bonum
All the breath and the bloom of the year in the bag of one bee:All the wonder and wealth of the mine in the heart of one gem:In the core of one pearl all the shade and the shine of the sea:Breath and bloom, shade and shine,--wonder, wealth, and--how far above them--Truth, that's brighter than gem,Trust, that's purer than pearl,--Brightest truth, purest trust in the universe,--all were for meIn the kiss of one girl.
