All, that to careless words unmeant
She should have thus in scorn replied,
Or that my love were not content,
But should a poison shaft have sent
To wound her love and pride.
With cheek to cheek, in close embrace,
We watch those thoughtlessletter burn.
And so from memory every trace
OF foolish anger we etface,
That never shall return.
And from the glimmer of the fire
A living truth upon us flashes;
If anger rise, yet love is higher
True love Is warmer than our ire,
And burns 1t into ashes.
