Alternate Author Name(s): Davies, W. H.
Subject(s): Hearts; Love


Love is the precious jewel in our Life,
The sweetest thing this Earth has ever known,
Found in a labourer's cottage, on a stool,
Then in a palace, sitting on a throne.
She lets no Knowledge cloud our mortal hours,
Or cast its shadows on her glorious eyes;
All hope of Life immortal after Death
Springs out of Love's abiding qualities.
Love judges neither blood, nor pomp, nor state,
She questions for its heart each living thing:
What kind of woman is our English queen,
What kind of man her husband and our king.
