THE BRIMMING CUP, by                    
First Line: Life's cup of wonder ever brims o'er
Last Line: And only death can end a love-song.
Subject(s): Love


Life's cup of wonder ever brims o'er.
If you would sip, then you must soar:
To know and be enfolded in its lore
Seek the truths,
Do kind deeds,
For God wings the paths as of yore.

If you would rise and seek the melody of song
E'er life be too cruel and too strong,
And grief and pain build far too long,
Take heart, seek love,
For love is not vain,
And only death can end a love-song.
