[Patience must dwell with Love, for Love and Sorrow]
Patience must dwell with Love, for Love and Sorrow
Have pitched their tent together here:
Love all alone will build a house tomorrow,
And sorrow not be near.
Have pitched their tent together here:
Love all alone will build a house tomorrow,
And sorrow not be near.
Today for Love's sake hope, still hope, in sorrow,
Rest in her shade and hold her dear:
Today she nurses thee; and lo! tomorrow
Love only will be near.
Rest in her shade and hold her dear:
Today she nurses thee; and lo! tomorrow
Love only will be near.
