A SONG OF LOVE by THEODOSIA (PICKERING) GARRISON

First Line: LOVE LAID HIS HANDS ON MY TWO HANDS
Last Line: LOVE, MUST NOT THEY BE SWEET?
Subject(s): KISSES; LOVE;

LOVE laid his hands on my two hands
And straightway I was strong;
He held my eyes within his eyes
That they might see no wrong;
His kisses fell upon my lips
And left them filled with song.

The meanest task my hands may do
For Love's sake now is meet;
The meanest thing my eyes may see
Grows wondrous and complete;
And since my songs are all of him,
Love, must not they be sweet?
