THERE IS A TIME, by                    
First Line: Ah, love, thy sweet, strange grace
Last Line: Upon love's own true way.
Subject(s): Love; Love - Complaints


AH, love, thy sweet, strange grace
Thrills through my anxious heart,
And makes me wholly thine.

And yet, dear one, we seem so far apart
When confidence is cast aside,
And trust misplaced, I find.

Could we but ever live and have between
No single shadow's form,
Life would be life, indeed, and heaven would lose its charm.

So, love, live on! We are not perfect made;
Not one but sometimes falls,
And wrongs himself or other one.

Then when from duty's path we go astray,
Let's hasten backward, and start again
Upon love's own true way.
