through。 

     If   it   dies;   it   will   not   perish   By   Time's   slow   decay;   True   Love   only 



                                                                                       131

grows (they tell me) Stronger; day by day: Painhas been its friend and 

comrade; Fateit can defy; Only by its own sword; sometimes Love can 

choose to die。 

    And its grave shall be more noble And more sacred still; Than a throne; 

where one less worthy Reigns and rules at will。 Tell me then; do you dare 

offer This true Love to me? 。 。 。 Neither you nor I can answer; We will 

wait and see! 



                                                                            132

           VERSE:                    GOLDEN WORDS 



     Some   words   are   played   on   golden   strings;  Which   I   so   highly   rate;   I 

cannot bear for meaner things Their sound to desecrate。 

     For every day they are not meet; Or for a careless tone; They are for 

rarest; and most sweet; And noblest use alone。 

     One word is POET:         which is flung So carelessly away; When such as 

you and I have sung; We hear it; day by day。 

     Men pay it for a tender phrase Set in a cadenced rhyme: I keep it as a 

crown of praise To crown the kings of time。 

     And    LOVE:      the    slightest  feelings;   stirred   By   trivial  fancy;  seek 

Expression in that golden word They tarnish while they speak。 

     Nay;   let   the   heart's   slow;   rare   decree;   That   word   in   reverence   keep 

Silence herself should only be More sacred and more deep。 

     FOR   EVER:       men   have   grown   at   length   To   use   that   word;   to   raise 

Some feeble protest into strength; Or turn some tender phrase。 

     It should be said in awe and fear By true heart and strong will; And 

burn more brightly year by year; A starry witness still。 

     HONOUR:         all   trifling   hearts   are   fond   Of   that   divine   appeal;   And 

men; upon the slightest bond; Set it as slighter seal。 

     That word should meet a noble foe Upon a noble field; And echolike 

a deadly blow Turned by a silver shield。 

     Trust me; the worth of words is such They guard all noble things; And 

that this rash irreverent touch Has jarred some golden strings。 

     For   what   the   lips   have   lightly   said   The   heart   will   lightly   hold; And 

things on which we daily tread Are lightly bought and sold。 

     The sun of every day will bleach The costliest purple hue。 And so our 

common daily speech Discolours what was true。 

     But as you keep some thoughts apart In sacred honoured care; If in the 

silence of your heart; Their utterance too be rare; 

     Then;     while   a   thousand     words    repeat   Unmeaning       clamours     all; 

Melodious golden echoes sweet Shall answer when you call。 



                                                                                       133
