Surely thy body is thy mind,
For in thy face is nought to find,
Only thy soft unchristened smile,
That shadows neither love nor guile.

Additional quotes by Robert Bridges

Behind the western bars
The shrouded day retreats,
And unperceived the stars
Steal to their sovran seats. And whiter grows the foam,
The small moon lightens more;
And as I turn me home,
My shadow walks before.

The storm is over, the land hushes to rest:
The tyrannous wind, its strength fordone,
Is fallen back in the west.

Angels’ song, comforting
as the comfort of Christ
When he spake tenderly
to his sorrowful flock.

Surely thy body is thy mind, For in thy face is nought to find, Only thy soft unchristened smile, That shadows neither love nor guile. - Robert Bridges
