LOVING FAITH
Say the worst! Ere all is said
Love hath fully answerèd.
Defamation still may say
And Detraction hold her way;
All is said, and Love yet smiles:
Loving faith no falsehood files.
Love hath fully answerèd.
Defamation still may say
And Detraction hold her way;
All is said, and Love yet smiles:
Loving faith no falsehood files.
Yet, were slander true as troth,
Censure likely as now loath,
Or if—Peace! the loving still
Love, as Love for ever will.
All is done: Love only smiles.
Loving faith no doubt defiles.
Censure likely as now loath,
Or if—Peace! the loving still
Love, as Love for ever will.
All is done: Love only smiles.
Loving faith no doubt defiles.
