And fill it up with loving.

From out the hearts afulled o’ love

Would I to steal the o’er-drip

And pack the emptied hearts of earth.

The bread o’ love would I to cast

Unto thy bywayed path, and pluck me

From the thornèd bush that traileth o’er

The stepping-place, the thorn, that brothers

O’ the flesh o’ me might step ’pon path acleared.

Yea, I’d coax the songsters o’ the earth
