PROUD LOVE, by                    
First Line: Proud love is not a foaming tide
Last Line: And lands you have not seen.
Subject(s): Hearts; Kisses; Love


PROUD love is not a foaming tide,
And if you would be delicate,
Come only to the water side
And dip your dainty feet therein;
Among the shallows hesitate,
No lawless wave will kiss your chin.

But if adventure stir your blood,
And you are proof against regret,
Plunge in and float upon the flood
And travel down through banks of green
To seas you have not tempted yet,
And lands you have not seen.
