A Song Of Love

Topics: classic

Love reckons not by time - its May days of delight     Are swifter than the falling stars that pass beyond our sight.     Love reckons not by time - its moments of despair     Are years that march like prisoners, who drag the chains they wear.     Love counts not by the sun - it hath no night or day -     'Tis only light when love is near - 'tis dark with love away.     Love hath no measurements of height, or depth, or space,     But yet within a little grave it oft hath found a place.     Love is its own best law - its wrongs seek no redress;     Love is forgiveness - and it only knoweth how to bless.
