As this is Saint Valentine's Day I couldn't let it pass without some input from my scrapbook on the subject of love.
We Live by Love
We live by love, and through the love we show
We carry, as it were, a candle-glow
About us up and down life's busy street.
We look for love in everyone we meet,
Enraptured if we find its smallest spark,
Not knowing we ourselves shine in the dark
And cast upon the earth a lovely bloom.
A single candle twinkling in the gloom-
One solitary beaming little star-
Can shed its golden nimbus far and far,
And each brave glimmer of our human love
Awakes on earth anew the splendour of
The love of God that is the lamp that lights
All fairest days and all starriest nights.
