STRAY BIRDS
278
One word keep for me in thy silence, O World, when I am dead, "I have loved."
279
We live in this world when we love it.
280
Let the dead have the immortality of fame, but the living the immortality of love.
281
I have seen thee as the half-awakened child sees his mother in the dusk of the dawn and then smiles and sleeps again.
