LOVE'S ISLAND by DOKU-HO

First Line: AN ISLAND IN AN INLAND SEA
Last Line: "THOU LITTLE ISLAND IN THE SEA!"
Subject(s): ISLANDS;
An island in an inland sea;
"Too small for me!" I sadly cried
And then espied
A lark that rose into the sky.
Whereat I changed my plaintive cry:
"If lark there be
Then field there is.
If field there be
Then man there is.
If man there be
Then Love there is.
Then large enough, indeed, for me
Thou little island in the sea!"
