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. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...MY OLD KENTUCKY HOME by STEPHEN COLLINS FOSTER A TRIBUTE OF GRASSES by HAMLIN GARLAND SONNET: TO SLEEP by JOHN KEATS THE IMMORTALS by ISAAC ROSENBERG MAY DAY by ADELAIDE A.
