The Long Road
Long the road, Till Love came down it! Dark the life, Till Love did crown it! Dark the life, And long the road, Till Love came To share the load! For the touch Of Love transfigures All the road And all its rigours. Life and Death, Love's touch transfigures. Life and Death And all that lies In between, Love sanctifies. Once the heavenly spark is lighted, Once in love two hearts united, Nevermore Shall aught that was be As before.
