Elizabeth Barrett Browning - Life and Love lyrics

I. Fast this Life of mine was dying,  Blind already and calm as d**h, Snowflakes on her bosom lying  Scarcely heaving with her breath. II. Love came by, and having known her  In a dream of fabled lands, Gently stooped, and laid upon her  Mystic chrism of holy hands; III. Drew his smile across her folded  Eyelids, as the swallow dips; Breathed as finely as the cold did  Through the locking of her lips. IV. So, when Life looked upward, being  Warmed and breathed on from above, What sight could she have for seeing,  Evermore ... but only Love?
