Love
Love to faults is always blind
From The Rossetti Manuscript (c. 1793–1818)
Love
Love to faults is always blind;
Always is to joy inclin'd,
Lawless, wing'd & unconfin'd,
And breaks all chains from every mind.
Deceit to secresy confin'd,
Lawful, cautious & refin'd;
To anything but interest blind.
And forges fetters for the mind.
