Love

Song

by Helen Hay Whitney 1875–1944

From Gypsy Verses (1907)

Love

You are the dawning of dreams.
You are the end of desire.
You are the gladness and glory that seems
Dauntless, to urge and aspire.

Cradle my soul on your wings,
Cradle my head on your breast.
Teach me the ardour that conquers and sings.
Grant me your infinite rest.
