DARE all things for Love's sake, since love is best, Of Fate ask nothing, rather by your deeds Rebuke it for its niggard ways unblest, And trust to Love to shield you in your needs. Remember in the shade of the new years Only what Love has given. This shall be Daily your dole, a safeguard from your tears, Outwitting change and Time's inconstancy. —Knock loudly at Love's door. He is awake. Offer him roses. 'Tis his month of June. Watch all his ways. Do worship for his sake. Seek out his service. He shall serve you soon. Know this of Love, who fears not Fate's disaster Answers for both and is of Time the master. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...TO THE MEMORY OF THE BRAVE AMERICANS UNDER GENERAL GREENE by PHILIP FRENEAU THE LIGHT OF OTHER DAYS by THOMAS MOORE EASTER 1916 by WILLIAM BUTLER YEATS A SONG OF LABOUR; DEDICATED TO MY FELLOW-WORKERS WITH PICK AND SHOVEL by ALEXANDER ANDERSON THE ANCRE AT HAMEL: AFTERWARDS by EDMUND CHARLES BLUNDEN |
