I only knew love when I knew love of Thee

I only knew love when I knew love of Thee,
I sealed up my heart against Thy enemy.
.
I stood long in converse with Thee, who doth see
My heart’s inner secrets, but Thou I don’t see.
.
My love is twin loves, yet the twain are for Thee,
The first’s for Thy love, and the other’s for Thee.
.
And as for the first, which is love of Thy love:
Remembrance complete, not distracted from Thee.
.
And as for the second: my true love of Thee,
I see Thou as present in all that I see.
.
All praise to Thy name, and no praises for me,
For Thine is the glory in all unity.
