First Line: A viewless thing is the wind
Last Line: For she conquers shame and death.
Subject(s): Death; Love; Samson; Shame; Wind; Dead, The
A VIEWLESS thing is the wind,
But its strength is mightier far
Than a phalanxed host in battle line,
Than the limbs of a Samson are.
And a viewless thing is Love,
And a name that vanisheth;
But her strength is the wind's wild strength above,
For she conquers shame and Death.
