WAIT by AMOS RUSSEL WELLS

First Line: THE DAGGER IS KEEN
Last Line: I MUST SEE WHAT LOVE MAY MEAN.
Subject(s): LOVE;

"The dagger is keen,
And life is a pageant of woe
Seen and unseen,
So why sit out the show?"

But yet I know
Somewhere in the gloomy scene
Love is aglow:
I must see what love may mean.
