<h2><SPAN name="page45"></SPAN><span class="pagenum"></span>LOVE</h2>
<p class="poetry"><span class="smcap">Dreaming</span> of love,
the ardent mind of youth<br/>
Conceives it one with passion’s brief
delights,<br/>
With keen desire and rapture. But, in truth,<br/>
These are but milestones to sublime heights<br/>
After the highways, swept by strong emotions,<br/>
Where wild winds blow and blazing sun rays beat,<br/>
After the billows of tempestuous oceans,<br/>
Fair mountain summits wait the lover’s
feet.</p>
<p class="poetry">The path is narrow, but the view is wide,<br/>
And beauteous the outlook towards the west<br/>
Happy are they who walk there side by side,<br/>
Leaving below the valleys of unrest,<br/>
And on the radiant altitudes above<br/>
Know the serene intensity of love.</p>
