Part 2 — "CHILD, CHILD"
Reading edition
Child, child, love while you can The voice and the eyes and the soul of a man, Never fear though it break your heart— Out of the wound new joy will start; Only love proudly and gladly and well Though love be heaven or love be hell.
Child, child, love while you may, For life is short as a happy day; Never fear the thing you feel— Only by love is life made real; Love, for the deadly sins are seven, Only through love will you enter heaven.
Sara Teasdale [1884-1933]
