<h2><SPAN name="poem25"></SPAN>THE REASON</h2>
<p class="poetry">Do you know what moves the tides<br/>
As they swing from low to high?<br/>
’Tis the love, love, love,<br/>
Of the moon within the sky.<br/>
Oh! they follow where she guides,<br/>
Do the faithful-hearted tides.</p>
<p class="poetry">Do you know what moves the earth<br/>
Out of winter into spring?<br/>
’Tis the love, love, love,<br/>
Of the sun, the mighty king.<br/>
Oh the rapture that finds birth<br/>
In the kiss of sun and earth!</p>
<p class="poetry">Do you know what makes sweet songs<br/>
Ring for me above earth’s strife?<br/>
’Tis the love, love, love,<br/>
That you bring into my life,<br/>
Oh the glory of the songs<br/>
In the heart where love belongs!</p>
