THE FEW by WINIFRED LUCAS

First Line: MID LIVES SO NUMBERLESS, HOW FEW
Last Line: HIS DREAMERS MOVE.
Subject(s): LOVE;

'MID lives so numberless, how few
Born to the end that each should love!
Forth from the crowd, distinct, above,
Come three or two,
And trap the heart to leave it true.
Oh World, that sought its faith to prove,
'Tis wisely, wisely ye withdrew!
For Love's a sleep, and not for you
His dreamers move.
