Луиза Сара Бевингтон (Louisa Sarah Bevington)

Tell Me

Q.--

TELL me, Mother Nature, tell,--
What of heaven and what of hell?
Who doth ill and who doth well?
Tell me, Mother Nature.

A.--

Well is done where firmlier life
Cometh forth from any strife;
Where life-happiness is rife:--
Love to live, my creature.

Q.--

What of love? With what intent
Is my life with loving blent,--
Sacrifice and sacrament?
Tell me, Mother Nature.

A.--

Loveless life is null and vain;
Love alone is worthy gain,
Love alone is worthy pain;--
Live to love, my creature.
