STEPPING STONES by WINIFRED LUCAS

First Line: OH YEARS SUNK MUTELY IN THE ABYSS
Last Line: "NO COSTLIER GOOD THAN LOVE CAN PAY."
Subject(s): LOVE; TIME;

OH years sunk mutely in the abyss,
Vocal at last, I hear you say,
"Our days were stepping stones to this,
Through floods of chance that washed away
No rarer thing than love that is,—
No costlier good than love can pay."
