look for a lovely thing and you will find it, it is not far, it never will be far
Take love when love is given.
Take love when love is given, But never think to find it A sure escape from sorrow Or a complete repose.
Only by love is life made real.
O beauty, are you not enough; why am I crying after love.
But what do I care, for love will be over so soon, Let my heart have its say and my mind stand idly by, For my mind is proud and strong enough to be silent, It is my heart that makes my songs, not I.
Old love, old love, / How can I be true? / Shall I be faithless to myself / Or to you?
Spend all you have for loveliness.
Life has loveliness to sell, / Music like a curve of gold, / Scent of pine trees in the rain, / Eyes that love you, arms that hold, / And for your spirit's still delight, / Holy thoughts that star the night.
Faults They came to tell your faults to me, They named them over one by one; I laughed aloud when they were done, I knew them all so well before,-- Oh, they were blind, too blind to see Your faults had made me love you more.
Oh Earth, you gave me all I have, I love you, I love you, - oh what have IThat I can give you in return - Except my body after I die?
There is a quiet at the heart of love, And I have pierced the pain and come to peace.
