LOVE'S CUP by ROBERT CAMERON ROGERS

First Line: LIFE'S RICHEST CUP IS LOVE'S TO FILL
Last Line: ABOUT THE BROWS OF THOSE WHO LOVE!
Subject(s): LOVE; WEALTH; RICHES; FORTUNES;

LIFE'S richest cup is Love's to fill —
Who drinks, if deep the draught shall be,
Knows all the rapture of the hill
Blent with the heart-break of the sea.

O tired wings that trail the ground!
O sudden flight to worlds above!
O thorns among the roses bound
About the brows of those who love!
