Give all to loveA
Obey thy heartB
Friends kindred daysC
Estate good fameD
Plans credit and the museE
Nothing refuseE
-
'Tis a brave masterF
Let it have scopeG
Follow it utterlyH
Hope beyond hopeG
High and more highI
It dives into noonJ
With wing unspentK
Untold intentK
But 'tis a godL
Knows its own pathM
And the outlets of the skyI
'Tis not for the meanN
It requireth courage stoutO
Souls above doubtO
Valor unbendingP
Such 'twill rewardQ
They shall returnR
More than they wereF
And ever ascendingP
-
Leave all for loveA
Yet hear me yetS
One word more thy heart behovedS
One pulse more of firm endeavorF
Keep thee to dayS
To morrow for everF
Free as an ArabT
Of thy belovedS
Cling with life to the maidS
But when the surpriseU
Vague shadow of surmiseU
Flits across her bosom youngV
Of a joy apart from theeH
Free be she fancy freeH
Do not thou detain a hemW
Nor the palest rose she flungV
From her summer diademW
-
Though thou loved her as thyselfA
As a self of purer clayS
Tho' her parting dims the dayS
Stealing grace from all aliveA
Heartily knowX
When half gods goX
The gods arriveA
