LOVE is indeed a glorious prize! <br />What fairer guerdon meets our eyes?-- <br />Though neither wealth nor power are thine, <br />A very hero thou dost shine. <br />As of the prophet, they will tell, <br />Wamik and Asia's tale as well.-- <br />They'll tell not of them,--they'll but give <br />Their names, which now are all that live. <br />The deeds they did, the toils they proved <br />No mortal knows! But that they loved <br />This know we. Here's the story true <br />Of Wamik and of Asia too.<br /><br />Johann Wolfgang von Goethe<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/book-of-love-one-more-pair/
