Love On Through

1. There is a bliss beyond all that the minstrel has told,
when two, that are linked in one heavenly tie.


With heart never changing, and brow never cold
love on through all ills, and love on till they die!



One hour of a passion so sacred is worth
whole ages of heartless and wandering bliss;
and O, if there be an elysium on earth,
its is this, it is this.


(T. Moore- Lalla Rookh, "light of the harem')



2. As down in the sunless retreats of the ocean
sweet flowers are springing, no mortal can see,
so deep is my soul the still prayers of devotion
unheard by the world, rises silent to thee.
(Moore)
