Love is not always harsh and deadly sin | B |
If it be love of loveliness divine | C |
It leaves the heart all soft and infantine | C |
For rays of God's own grace to enter in | C |
Love fits the soul with wings and bids her win | C |
Her flight aloft nor e'er to earth decline | C |
'Tis the first step that leads her to the shrine | C |
Of Him who slakes the thirst that burns within | C |
The love of that whereof I speak ascends | D |
Woman is different far the love of her | E |
But ill befits a heart all manly wise | F |
The one love soars the other downward tends | D |
The soul lights this while that the senses stir | E |
And still his arrow at base quarry flies | F |
