STROPHE by RUTH CLAY PRICE

First Line: PRIEST AND PRIESTESS
Last Line: ETERNAL.
Subject(s): LOVE; RELIGION; THEOLOGY;

Priest and Priestess
At the altar
Hymeneal,
Make of our love
An altar fire
Perpetual;

With imagination
Tend the flame
Immortal:

All lovers are given
A religious moment
Temporal;

Only a few
The exaltation
Eternal.
