AD ASTRA: 64 by CHARLES WHITWORTH WYNNE

First Line: O SOUL, WHICH EVER WHISPEREST OF THY WANTS
Last Line: AGAINST THE LOVE WHICH CAN ALONE SET FREE?
Subject(s): LOVE; MAN-WOMAN RELATIONSHIPS; MALE-FEMALE RELATIONS;

O Soul, which ever whisperest of thy wants,
In God alone canst thou be satisfied!
Insatiably man's earth-born nature pants
For Love, that never woman yet supplied!
For Love, that is to mortal years denied!—
O heart of man! why strive eternally
Against the Love which can alone set free?
