And loved your beauty with love false or true

And loved the sorrows of your changing face.

She passed the salley gardens with little snow-white feet.
She bid me take love easy, as the leaves grow on the tree
But I, being young and foolish, with her would not agree.

Love at the lips was touch
As sweet as I could bear;
And once that seemed too much;
I lived on air.

To Earthward, 1923
Take away love and our earth is a tomb.
Love, hope, fear, faith - these make humanity;
These are its sign, and note and character.
