A SONG OF LOVE

Love came loitering down the way,

( Heart, but we two were young! )

Laughter light in his eyes there lay,

Music was on his tongue;

“Stay, Love, stay — walk with us, pray!

( Sweet were the songs he sung. )

Love with us goes wandering still,

( Heart, but his songs are sweet! )

Suns may shine, or the rains beat chill,

What matter cold or heat?

Blue or grey, Love goes our way;

( Summer follows his feet. )

Love, he has been a comrade true,

( Heart, how the seasons fly! )

Joy and Sorrow have found us too,

Greeted and passed us by;

So Love stay, they may go their way;

( And Love can never die. )
