LOVE'S RULE, by

Alternate Author Name(s): Cayzer, Charles
Subject(s): Friendship; Love


HOW soon hath sped this fadeless summer day!
This golden link in our twin destinies!
This chain of bliss, welded of deeper ties
Than any yet divulged 'neath Friendship's sway.
Neither will lightly let it pass away;
And, as a dream long cherish'd never dies,
Its fond memorials will renew our sighs
When Winter's thoughts wander in fields of May.

So shall we blissfully from life decline,
Knowing that we have tasted to the full
The cup that other lips have deem'd divine—
The cup we drain'd in nectarous draughts and cool!
And may Love's rosy garlands here enshrine
The Day we first submitted to Love's Rule!
