Love is not all: It is not meat nor drink
Nor slumber nor a roof against the rain,
Nor yet floating spar to men that sink
Love cannot fill the thickened lung with breath
Nor clean the blood, nor set the fractured bone;
Yet many a man is making friends with death
Even as I speak, for lack of love alone.......................................................

It will not last the night;
But ah, my foes, and oh, my friends—
It gives a lovely light!"
