LOVE’S
ALCHEMY |
—————
LOVE is the filling from one's own
Another’s
cup.
Love
is a daily laying down
And
taking up;
A
choosing of the stony path
Through
each new day
That
other feet may tread with ease
A
smoother way.
Love
is not blind, but looks abroad
Through
other eyes;
And
asks not “Must I give?”
but
“May I sacrifice?”
Love
hides its grief, that other hearts
And lips may
sing;
And
burdened, walks, that other lives
May, buoyant,
wing.
Brother,
hast thou a love like this
Within
thy soul?
‘Twill
change thy name to saint when thou
Dost reach thy goal.
