For Lu

Considering that, all hatred driven hence,

the soul recovers radical innocence

and learns at last that it is self-delighting,

self-appeasing, self-affrighting,

and that its own sweet will is Heaven's will;

She can, though every face should scowl

and every windy quarter howl

or every bellows burst, be happy still.
