第5章 Love Enthroned

I marked all kindred Powers the heart finds fair:-

Truth,with awed lips;and Hope,with eyes upcast;

And Fame,whose loud wings fan the ashen Past

To signal-fires,Oblivion's flight to scare;

And Youth,with still some single golden hair

Unto his shoulder clinging,since the last

Embrace wherein two sweet arms held him fast;

And Life,still wreathing flowers for Death to wear.

Love's throne was not with these[35]；but far above

All passionate wind of welcome and farewell

He sat in breathless[36] bowers they dream not of;

Though Truth foreknow Love's heart,and Hope foretell,

And Fame be for Love's sake desirable,

And Youth be dear,and Life be sweet to Love.
