The Oxford Book of Canadian Verse
Loves LandIsabella Valancy Crawford (18501887)
O
And Love builds on the golden sand,
And Love builds on the rose-winged cloud,
And sometimes Love builds on the land!
And if Love build on golden strand,
And if Love build on rosy cloud,
To Love these are the solid land!
And Love his pearly roof will rear,
On cloud, or land, or mist, or sea—
Love’s solid land is everywhere!
