Love's Requirement

MARION STUART HOWE

Has thy brother aught against thee?

Poem

These things have fallen away, and here I stand—The world, the flesh, and all the flesh can bring—And I look down on them as some dead thingThat cannot reach me now, nor touch my hand!Prolong this moment, Lord, ere I descendThe mount; ere lictors of the EmperorHale me again before Cæsar, or beforeThe lions of the arena! Send, oh, sendThine angels once again, that I may dwellIn heaven, and know—e'en in th'arena—it is well!
