\"I SAID TO LOVE\" by Thomas Hardy
I said to Love,
\"It is not now as in old days
When men adored thee and thy ways
All else above;
Named thee the Boy, the Bright, the One
Who spread a heaven beneath the sun,\"
I said to Love.
I said to him,
\"We now know more of thee than then;
We were but weak in judgment when,
With hearts abrim,
We clamoured thee that thou would\'st please
Inflict on us thine agonies,\"
I said to him.
I said to Love,
\"Thou art not young, thou art not fair,
No fiery darts, no cherub air,
Nor swan, nor dove
Are thine; but features pitiless,
And iron daggers of distress,\"
I said to Love.
\"Depart then, Love! . . .
- Man\'s race shall end, dost threaten thou?
The age to come the man of now
Know nothing of? -
We fear not such a threat from thee;
We are too old in apathy!
Mankind shall cease.--So let it be,\"
I said to Love.
