LOVE'S INCONSISTENCIES by DHAN GOPAL MUKERJI

First Line: WHY CLOSED THOU THINE EYES
Last Line: SONG DOTH NOT DIE!
Subject(s): HEARTS; LOVE; MUSIC & MUSICIANS;

Why closed thou thine eyes —
Two ever-lit homes of love?
Why heave sighs,
Thou happiest dove?

Why dost sleep,
When love awakes?
Why dost weep,
When love merry-makes?

Why the sadness of Autumn
With thy smile of Spring?
Why, with the light of morn,
Night's darkening dream?

Oh, cease doubting!
Open thine eye!
See, love knows no ending!
Song doth not die!
