A secret gap is in the green
Of those forbidding hedges
That on each other curl and lean -
A secret gap is in the green
Under the ivy's ancient sheen
That swathes the courtyard's edges;
A secret gap is in the green
Of those forbidding hedges -
I've often glimpsed my lady there
Through those unyielding hedges;
Against the smoky evening air,
I've often glimpsed my lady there
Unbinding floods of starlit hair
Among the grassy sedges;
I've often glimpsed my lady there
Through those unyielding hedges -
Yet I am banished from her side
By these eternal hedges -
She lingers in the dusky tide
Yet I am banished from her side
Across a cosmos, lightless, wide
Within this garden's ledges;
Yet I am banished from her side
By these eternal hedges.

Great Poem
While reading this from where I sat
It's clear that your love is a cat
I am the one with starlit hair
A lot of hair for you to share
So sail across the cosmos please
Propose to me down on your knees
Maybe I will say that I will
Marry you; that would fill the bill

Oh, this is very fine, indeed, and a most difficult form to maintain throughout. The last stanza is exceptional!!!
