LOVE'S FRUIT, by                     Poet's Biography
First Line: There was a little life that beat from mine
Last Line: But bears immortal fruit within her womb.
Subject(s): Love - Nature Of


There was a little life that beat from mine,
A little hand that clasped my hand, and eyes
That looked in mine with all love's mysteries,
So deep, so true, so tender, so divine,
That I could read therein the lucent sign
Of heavenly things that speak not human wise,
But find their utterance in the distant skies
Where far withdrawn God's holiest secrets shine.

And though my heart is bruised, and all my soul
Quivers with pain, in patience I abide
The grief that shadows all the world with gloom:
I know that loss and grief are not the whole
Of life, that Love is not Death's barren bride,
But bears immortal fruit within her womb.
