VI hich counts the answers and the
gains.
And eagerly each fond word drains
A joy to seek
When love is strong,
II never tarries TO take heed.
OR know II its return exceed
Its gift; in its sweet haste no greed,
No strifes belong
1t hardly asks
If 1t be loved at all; to take
So barren seems. when it can make
such bliss, for the beloved sake.
OF bitter tasks.
Its ecstasy
Could find hard death so beauieous.
1t sees through tears how Christ loved
us,
and speaks. in saying, Il love thus.
No blasphemy.
So much we miss
If love is weak, SO much we gain
II love is strong, God thinks no pair
Too sharp or lasting to orda:n
To teach us this.
