Give Love Today.
When the lean, gray grasses
Cover me, bury me deep,
No sea wind that passes
Shall break my sleep.
When you come, my lover.
Sorrowful eyed to me,
Earth niue eyes will cover;
| shall not see.
Though with sad words splendid,
Praisins, YOU call me dear
Ii will toe all ended;
| shan not hear
You may live loves riot
l.aushingly over my head,
But shah lie quiet;
With the gray dead
Love, you Will not wake me
With all YOUR singing carouse,
Nor your dancing shake me
In my dark house.
Though you should go weeping,
ssorrowful for my sake,
lEain to break my sleeping,
l could not wake
Now, ere time destroy us
Shadows beneath and above;
Death has no song joyous,
Nor dead men love
Now, while deep-eyed. golden,
Love on the mountain sings,
Let him be close holden;
Fetter his wings.
Love. nor joy nor sorrow
Troubles the end of day;
Leave the Fates tomorrow;
Give love today.
