<h2>ECHOES OF LOVE’S HOUSE.</h2>
<p>Love gives every gift whereby we long to live<br/>
“Love takes every gift, and nothing back doth
give.”</p>
<p>Love unlocks the lips that else were ever dumb:<br/>
“Love locks up the lips whence all things good might
come.”</p>
<p>Love makes clear the eyes that else would never see:<br/>
“Love makes blind the eyes to all but me and
thee.”</p>
<p>Love turns life to joy till nought is left to gain:<br/>
“Love turns life to woe till hope is nought and
vain.”</p>
<p>Love, who changest all, change me nevermore!<br/>
“Love, who changest all, change my sorrow sore!”</p>
<p>Love burns up the world to changeless heaven and blest,<br/>
“Love burns up the world to a void of all
unrest.”</p>
<p>And there we twain are left, and no more work we need:<br/>
“And I am left alone, and who my work shall
heed?”</p>
<p>Ah! I praise thee, Love, for utter joyance won!<br/>
“And is my praise nought worth for all my life
undone?”</p>
