Love

Is it Amavi or is it Amo?

by Thomas Edward Brown 1830–1897

From Lyrical

Love

Sit on the rocks and watch the tide
And which is ebb and which is flow,
And over to the other side: —
Is it amavi or is it amo?
Kneel at the altar of the years,
Take heart, and haply you shall know —
Look down into the fount of tears:
Is it amavi or is it amo?
