HOLIDAY by WINIFRED LUCAS

First Line: LOVE HAS SO FAR ON EARTH TO SEEK
Last Line: THE THING HE MEANT.
Subject(s): LOVE - NATURE OF;

LOVE has so far on earth to seek
A need he dare be tender to;
Though ever more than he may speak,
His words are few.

He waits an ear as innocent
As thine, that gave him holiday—
As thine, that gave him heart to say
The thing he meant.
