Elizabeth Barrett Browning - Portugese X lyrics
[Elizabeth Barrett Browning - Portugese X lyrics]
Yet, love, mere love, is beautiful indeed
And worthy of acceptation fire is bright
Let temple burn, or flax an equal light
Leaps in the flame from cedar-plank or weed:
And love is fire and when I say at need
I love thee mark! i love thee -in thy sight
I stand transfigured, glorified aright
With conscience of the new rays that proceed
Out of my face toward
Thine there's nothing low in love
When love the lowest: meanest creatures
Who love God, God accepts while loving so
And what I feel, across the inferior features
Of what I am, doth flash it'self, and show
How that great work of Love enhances Nature's
And worthy of acceptation fire is bright
Let temple burn, or flax an equal light
Leaps in the flame from cedar-plank or weed:
And love is fire and when I say at need
I love thee mark! i love thee -in thy sight
I stand transfigured, glorified aright
With conscience of the new rays that proceed
Out of my face toward
Thine there's nothing low in love
When love the lowest: meanest creatures
Who love God, God accepts while loving so
And what I feel, across the inferior features
Of what I am, doth flash it'self, and show
How that great work of Love enhances Nature's
