100. Light and Dark
N
Wakens love the sweetest:
When the heart is lightest
Oft the charm is fleetest.
Waits the time of learning,
To the passion laden
Turn with eager yearning.
Heaven with earth is banded:
To the stars returning
Go not empty-handed.
Somehow truth has missed her,
Left the heart unladen
For its burdened sister.
