Reproof In Love

Because we are simt out f rom light, Each of the other's look and smile; Because the arms' and lips' delight Are past and dead a weary while; Because the dawB thp.t joy has brought Brings now hut certainty of pain, Nothiug for you and me has bought The right to live our u' ves in vain. Take not away the only lure That leads me on my lonely way- To know you noble, sweot and pure, Great ín least sen'ice day by day.
