George Parsons Lathrop - Love That Lives

2014-11-10 1 Dailymotion

Dear face—bright, glinting hair; <br />Dear life, whose heart is mine— <br />The thought of you is prayer, <br />The love of you divine. <br />In starlight, or in rain; <br />In the sunset's shrouded glow; <br />Ever, with joy or pain, <br />To you my quick thoughts go <br />Like winds or clouds, that fleet <br />Across the hungry space <br />Between, and find you, sweet, <br />Where life again wins grace. <br />Now, as in that once young <br />Year that so softly drew <br />My heart to where it clung, <br />I long for, gladden in you. <br />And when in the silent hours <br />I whisper your sacred name, <br />Like an altar-fire it showers <br />My blood with fragrant flame! <br />Perished is all that grieves; <br />And lo, our old-new joys <br />Are gathered as in sheaves, <br />Held in love's equipoise. <br />Ours is the love that lives; <br />Its springtime blossoms blow <br />'Mid the fruit that autumn gives, <br />And its life outlasts the snow.<br /><br />George Parsons Lathrop<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/love-that-lives/
