What Is Love?
by M.L.
(taken from "The Keepsake"--London, 1829)
Love is the passion which endureth,
Which neither time nor absence cureth;
Which nought of earthly change can sever:
Love is the light which shines forever.
What cold and
selfish breasts deem madness
Lives in its depths
of joy and sadness:
In hearts, on
lips of flame it burneth;
One is its world--to
one it turneth.
Its chain of gold--what
hand can break it?
Its deathless
hold--what force can shake it?
Mere passion aught
of earth can sever,
But souls that
love--love forever.
