LOVE ETERNAL.
Love's breath is in the vernal breeze
That fans the cheek on twilight eves--
Love's breath exhales from out the rose
When morn unfolds its crimson leaves--
Love's breath is in the murmuring sound
That o'er the bubbling fountain rings--
Love's breath is in the little song
The little bird to nature sings.
Love's breath from yonder starry worlds
Comes down in ether pure and bright--
Love's breath is in the winter storm,
And in the summer breeze of night--
Warm looks of love from Nature's face
Allure me to her beating heart--
Lost on her fond and pure embrace,
My breast forgets its aching smart.
Love's breath--it is God's holy breath.
That unto thee, my heart, is given--
Whose gentle impulse, sweet and pure,
Does softly raise thee up to heaven!--
There shall the earthly plant put forth
Eternal flowers that ne'er shall fall.
Ah! I shall love--and love!--and love!--
Since love is but the life of all!
