LOVE by PATRICK MACGILL

First Line: LOVE WILL LIVE WHILE THE PALE STARS GLOW, WHILE THE / WORLD SHALL LAST
Last Line: THE SOUL WILL SEEK IN THE GREAT AFAR THE ENDLESS LOVE.
Subject(s): DEATH; FLOWERS; GRAVES; LOVE; DEAD, THE; TOMBS; TOMBSTONES;

LOVE will live while the pale stars glow, while the world shall last,
On the present hopes, and in hours of woe, on a dreamy past,
Love will live, while the flowers bloom, and the meadows wave;
Nor yet be quenched by the charnel tomb — the ghastly grave;
For o'er the tomb and the silver stars, to the gates above
The soul will seek in the great Afar the Endless Love.
