1358 Love Is Strong

A VIEWLESS thing is the wind,

But its strength is mightier far

Than a phalanxed host in battle line,

Than the limbs of a Samson are.

And a viewless thing is Love,

And a name that vanisheth;

But her strength is the wind’s wild strength above,

For she conquers shame and Death.
