• The warrior for the True, the Right,
  Fights in Love's name;
  The love that lures thee from that fight
  Lures thee to shame:
  That love which lifts the heart, yet leaves
  The spirit free,-
  That love, or none, is fit for one
  Man-shaped like thee.

• He loves not well whose love is bold!
  I would not have thee come too nigh.
  The sun's gold would not seem pure gold
  Unless the sun were in the sky:
  To take him thence and chain him near
  Would make his beauty disappear.
  William Winter, Love's Queen.
  The unconquerable pang of despised love.

• O thou with dewy locks, who lookest down
  Thro' the clear windows of the morning, turn
  Thine angel eyes upon our western isle,
  Which in full choir hails thy approach, O Spring!
  
  The hills tell each other, and the listening
  Valleys hear; all our longing eyes are turned
  Up to thy bright pavilions: issue forth,
  And let thy holy feet visit our clime.
  
  Come o'er the eastern hills, and let our winds
  Kiss thy perfumed garments; let us taste
  Thy morn and evening breath; scatter thy pearls
  Upon our love-sick land that mourns for thee.

• And fairy month of waking mirth
  From whom our joys ensue
  Thou early gladder of the earth
  Thrice welcome here anew
  With thee the bud unfolds to leaves
  The grass greens on the lea
  And flowers their tender boon receives
  To bloom and smile with thee.

• Now the bright morning-star, Day's harbinger,
  Comes dancing from the East, and leads with her
  The flowery May, who from her green lap throws
  The yellow cowslip and the pale primrose.
  Hail, bounteous May, that dost inspire
  Mirth, and youth, and warm desire!
  Woods and groves are of thy dressing;
  Hill and dale doth boast thy blessing.
  Thus we salute thee with our early song,
  And welcome thee, and wish thee long.

• If I belittle those whom I am called to serve, talk of their weak points in contrast perhaps with what I think of as my strong points; if I adopt a superior attitude, forgetting "Who made thee to differ? and what hast thou that thou hast not received?" then I know nothing of Calvary love.
