Religion
O ye who taste that love is sweet
From Verses (1893)
Religion
O ye who taste that love is sweet,
Set waymarks for all doubtful feet
That stumble on in search of it.
Sing notes of love: that some who hear
Far off inert may lend an ear,
Rise up and wonder and draw near.
Lead life of love: that others who
Behold your life, may kindle too
With love, and cast their lot with you.
