Elizabeth Barrett Browning - The Face of All the World (Sonnet 7) lyrics

The face of all the world is changed, I think Since first I heard the footsteps of thy soul Move still, oh, still, beside me, as they stole Betwixt me and the dreadful outer brink Of obvious d**h, where I, who thought to sink Was caught up into love, and taught the whole Of life in a new rhythm. The cup of dole God gave for baptism, I am fain to drink And praise its sweetness, Sweet, with thee anear The names of country, heaven, are changed away For where thou art or shalt be, there or here; And this... this lute and song... loved yesterday (The singing angels know) are only dear Because thy name moves right in what they say
