Love is and was my Lord and King, <br /> And in his presence I attend <br /> To hear the tidings of my friend, <br /> Which every hour his couriers bring. <br /> Love is and was my King and Lord, <br /> And will be, tho' as yet I keep <br /> Within his court on earth, and sleep <br /> Encompass'd by his faithful guard, <br /> And hear at times a sentinel <br /> Who moves about from place to place, <br /> And whispers to the worlds of space, <br /> In the deep night, that all is well.<br /><br />Alfred Lord Tennyson<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/in-memoriam-a-h-h-126-love-is-and-was-my-lord-an/
