LOVE.
I have not love, or I should see A heart and soul in every tree; I have not love, or any rose Would breathe to mc its fragrant wo^ I have not love, or I could hear The mighty music of the sphere; I have not love, or God -would be i. God, and not a mystery. I have not love, or I should go Singing unto the gates of woe; I have not love, or death would seem A joy_, a rapture and a dream; I have not love, or maa would be Sworn friend and brother unto mc; I have not love, or I should see That Life is love and sympathy. I have not love, or hell and night Would vanish into living light; I have not love, or grief and gloomWould flower into happy bloom; I have not love. I have not love— ,But the poor falling crnmbs thereof; Vortune doth fade, and pleasures pall, Bnt love is aU. and all,, ana all.
