William Morris. 18341896801. Love is enough
LOVE is enough: though the World be a-waning, | |
And the woods have no voice but the voice of complaining, | |
Though the sky be too dark for dim eyes to discover | |
The gold-cups and daisies fair blooming thereunder, | |
Though the hills be held shadows, and the sea a dark wonder, | 5 |
And this day draw a veil over all deeds pass’d over, | |
Yet their hands shall not tremble, their feet shall not falter; | |
The void shall not weary, the fear shall not alter | |
These lips and these eyes of the loved and the lover. |
