The Light Of Love.

Topics: classic

Each shining light above us         Has its own peculiar grace;     But every light of heaven         Is in my darling's face.     For it is like the sunlight,         So strong and pure and warm,     That folds all good and happy things,         And guards from gloom and harm.     And it is like the moonlight,         So holy and so calm;     The rapt peace of a summer night,         When soft winds die in balm.     And it is like the starlight;         For, love her as I may,     She dwells still lofty and serene         In mystery far away.
