LOVE
I heard a voice that said to me
That all this bright and beautiful world
Is faithful Love's fair flag unfurled.
That all this bright and beautiful world
Is faithful Love's fair flag unfurled.
O Love! Sweet Love! that perfumes spring,
And spreads through all the summer, too;
The autumn's claim upon you bring
The fruits, so winter time may brew.

O Love! Fair Love! you holy thing;
To hear, to see, and know you too,—
A blessed lesson thus you bring,
For us to learn to love from you.
