Life of my life, my soul’s best part,
I could not live without thee now;
And yet this love must break my heart,
Or break a sacred vow.
Which shall it be? an answer oft
From puzzling doubts I’ve sought to wake;
Must joy, or misery, hence be mine,
Must heart or promise break?
Alone, Heaven’s highest court would prove
A desolated land to me;
Earth’s barest, barren desert wild,
A paradise with thee.
REVENITA.
(Madge Morris Wagner)
