Ah! Love Ye One Another Well!

Ah ! love ye one another well.
For the hour will come
When one of you is lying dumb ;
Ye would give worlds then for a word,
That never may be heard ;
Ye would give worlds then for a glance.
That may be yours by ne'er a chance ;
Ah ! love ye one another well !

For if ye wrung a tear.
Like molten iron it will sear ;
The look that proved you were unkind
With hot remorse will blind ;
And though you pray to be forgiven,
How will ye know that ye are shriven ?
Ah ! love ye one another well !
