In the shadow and glamour of the ways]
In the shadow and glamour of the ways,With a passion more mighty than we were,
With the strength of desire, we followed where
We found Love's light that leads and never stays.
And yet not thus, alone for what repays
The passion that is life for best and worst,
The desire that is hunger, that is thirst,
We wrought Love's labour of all our nights and days.
Nay, not alone the great hilarity
Of Love's brimmed cup and Life's high festival
Gave us good warrant of the quest: thereof
Were we resolved, because, for one and all
Of Love's true partisans, we seemed to see
The Truth alive in the deep heart of Love!
