THE LAW OF LOVE.
Pour forth the oil, pour boldly forth,
It will not fail until
Thou failest vessels to provide,
Which it may freely fill.
But then, when such are found no more,
Though flowing broad and free
Till then, and nourished from on high,
It straightway staunched will be.
Dig channels for the streams of Love,
Where they may broadly run;
And Love has overflowing streams
To fill them every one.
But if at any time thou cease
Such channels to provide,
The very springs of Love for thee
Will soon be parched and dried.
For we must share, if we would keep,
That good thing from above;
Ceasing to give, we cease to have—
Such is the law of Love.
