Poem by Ella Wheeler Wilcox

Love

The longer I live and the more I see 
Of the struggle of souls towards the heights above, 
The stronger this truth comes home to me--- 
That the Universe rests on the shoulders of love, 
A love so limitless, deep, and broad, 
That men have re-named it, and called it God.

And nothing that was ever born or evolved, 
Nothing created by light or force 
But deep in its system there lies dissolved 
A shining drop from the great Love source; 
A shining drop that shall live for aye; 
Though kingdoms may perish and stars decay.

1. The Birth of the Orchid
2. The Call (All wantonly in hours of joy)
3. Be Not Attached
4. Behold the Earth
5. The Black Charger

Albert Pike Love ("I am the soul of the Universe")
