Lord of All


To love and be beloved,
To snatch ripe kisses from red lips of youth
Is of a truth
Earth's utmost blessing, this even I have proved.

To kiss and clasp fresh charms
In eager arms,
To wring Love's moisture from the inmost core
Of a deep heart and hunger still for more,
Is to be lord of Love.
