Excerpt from Lillies of the Valley
To Lillian
My Last and Now My Only Love
What is there in this life on earth that ties
Us wearied passengers to it so fast?
Is it the memory of blessings past,
Or thoughts and hopes of future felicities?
How often pleasures seem but vanities,
And darkening shadows of lowering tempests cast
Unwholesome gloom o'er us, and then at last
The spirit appears to sink in obscurities!
Yet love will save a suffering soul from death
And its desires, and bring to unhappy us
In the hour of need a thrill of victory,
A new return of strength, a quickened breath,
A faith in fortune more felicitous:
So then with love we soar into the sky.
