I learned it all from my Eve
  This warm, dumb wisdom.
She’s a finer instructress than years;
She has taught my heart-strings to weave
Through the web of all laughter and tears.

And now I see the valley
  Fleshed all like me
With feelings that change and quiver:
And all things seem to tally
  With something in me,
Something of which she’s the giver.
