SONG by FLORENCE EARLE COATES

First Line: IF LOVE WERE BUT A LITTLE THING
Last Line: A PILLOW FOR LOVE'S FEET.
If love were but a little thing --
Strange love, which, more than all, is great --
One might not such devotion bring,
Early to serve and late.

If love were but a passing breath --
Wild love -- which, as God knows, is sweet --
One might not make of life and death
A pillow for love's feet.
