There is a way
Of healing love with love,
They say.
But I say no!
What! shall pain comfort pain,
Fever calm fever,
Woe minister to woe?
Of healing love with love,
They say.
But I say no!
What! shall pain comfort pain,
Fever calm fever,
Woe minister to woe?
Shall tear, remembering,
Wash cool remembering tear?
Shall scar play host to scar,
Loneliness shelter loneliness;
And is forgetting here?
Wash cool remembering tear?
Shall scar play host to scar,
Loneliness shelter loneliness;
And is forgetting here?
Poor patch-work of the heart,
This healing love with love;
Binding the wound to wound,
The smart to smart!
Grafting the dream upon the other dream
As a gardener grafts tree to tree,
And both from the same wild root
Bearing their bitter fruit:
This healing love with love;
Binding the wound to wound,
The smart to smart!
Grafting the dream upon the other dream
As a gardener grafts tree to tree,
And both from the same wild root
Bearing their bitter fruit:
