Love's Dearest Moment,
Love's dearest moment is not when
the hands

Nor yet when all the
world has gone,
and

Between two souls,

Of impotent human law;

Upon the morrow they and love are
one,
Triune and chrismed,

It is not in the many morrows' track
While love by loving grows more
rich and wise
Pill age counts up love's wondrous,
wondrous sum.
Love's dearest moment is far back, far
