Celia Thaxter

Song

O LOVE, LOVE, LOVE!
    Whether it rain or shine,
Whether the clouds frown or the sky is clear,
Whether the thunder fill the air with fear,
Whether the winter rage or peace is here,
    If only thou art near,
    Then are all days divine.
 
    O LOVE, LOVE, LOVE!
    Where thou art not, the place
Is sad to me as death. It would be cold
In heaven without thee, if I might not hold
Thy hand in mine, if I might not behold
    The beauty manifold,
    The wonder of thy face.
