102. Song

By Florence Earle Coates


IF love were but a little thing—
Strange love, which, more than all, is great—
One might not such devotion bring,
Early to serve and late.

If love were but a passing breath—	5
Wild love—which, as God knows, is sweet—
One might not make of life and death
A pillow for love’s feet.
