Love
Love Is Strong
From An American Anthology, 1787-1900, ed. E. C. Stedman (1900)
Love
A viewless thing is the wind,
But its strength is mightier far
Than a phalanxed host in battle line,
Than the limbs of a Samson are.
And a viewless thing is Love,
And a name that vanisheth;
But her strength is the wind's wild strength above,
For she conquers shame and Death.
