LOVE IS STRONG by RICHARD EUGENE BURTON

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.
