THE VICTOR
Love, who's a giant, has been known to bring,Of men and women destined not to meet,
The hearts together, and through life to sing
The only song that renders absence sweet.
This is the love that, learning without eyes,
Feasting on hardship, wins the supernal prize
That passion shall not hold, because it dies.
