LOVE
“For I have always loved you for many reasons and in many ways.”—
P. B.
P. B.
The daily tribute of the sun
Lives on, in tree, and fruit, and flower;
Lives on, with subtle change of power,
When the last hour of day is done.
Lives on, in tree, and fruit, and flower;
Lives on, with subtle change of power,
When the last hour of day is done.
And what the kindly sun has given,
Reborn in many a varied form
Is in the wind, the sea, the storm,
And when the lightning flames through heaven,
Reborn in many a varied form
Is in the wind, the sea, the storm,
And when the lightning flames through heaven,
And is itself again; and so
Through many ways of diverse change
Has love equality of range,
And back again as love may flow;
Through many ways of diverse change
Has love equality of range,
And back again as love may flow;

For deathless, as God's sunlight still,
Its tender ministry renewed
In each divine beatitude,
Shall love its purposes fulfil.
Its tender ministry renewed
In each divine beatitude,
Shall love its purposes fulfil.
