REPROOF IN LOVE
BECAUSE we are shut out from light,Each of the other's look and smile;Because the arms' and lips' delightAre past and dead, a weary while;
Because the dawn, that joy has brought,Brings now but certainty of pain,Nothing for you and me has boughtThe right to live our lives in vain.
Take not away the only lureThat leads me on my lonely way,To know you noble, sweet, and pure,Great in least service, day by day.
