Excerpt from Love in Idleness: A Volume of Poems
Love is a toil, say some; and they Labour to love by love oppressed, And weary night brings weary day If so be they may get them blest; Yea, of all toil the weariest Is that wherewith they strive to bless Their aching heart and longing breast Our love is love in idleness.
Love is a god, say some alway A jealous god most manifest, More swift to hear than we to pray, Mid mortals an unbidden guest Yet hath he given a day of rest, Whereon we worship none the less For that we toil not, neither jest Our Love is Love in idleness.
