Love

Love

 Oh love is the wondrous magician 

That changes dull lead into gold ; 

If it wounds it can play the physician, 

And cure both the young and the old ! 

Then hail to the glorious passion 

That makes what is earthly, sublime! 

That cares not for custom or fashion, 

But dwells like an angel with time ! 

 

 C. B. LANGSTON
