Wakens love the sweetest:
When the heart is lightest
Oft the charm is fleetest.
(Light And Dark)
More Quotes from George William Russell:
I would not have the love of lips and eyes,The ancient ways of love:

A nest there for the dove.

In ages past away:
They had the love in other hours
I give to you to-day.

And life grows quietly one in the cloudy shade.

When for love it was fain of
The wild heart was chidden,
When the white limbs were clothed
And the beauty was hidden;

Let your heart alone go dreaming.
George William Russell
Do not ask for the hands of love or love's soft eyes:
They give less than love who give all, giving what wanes.
George William Russell
