They sin who tell us love can die;
With life all other passions fly,
All others are but vanity.

Its holy flame forever burneth;
From heaven it came, to heaven returneth.

It soweth here with toil and care,
But the harvest-time of love is there.

Robert Southey

Happy those
Who in the after-days shall live, when Time
Hath spoken, and the multitude of years
Taught wisdom to mankind!

Robert Southey
