The Music VI
Love is enough; cherish life that abideth,
Lest ye die ere ye know him, and curse and misname him;
for who knows in what ruin of all hope he hideth,
On what wings of the terror of darkness be rideth?
And what is the joy of man's life that ye blame him
for his bliss grown a sword, and his rest grown a fire?
