and as Dean Trench (Hulsean Lectures)

has it

Love found me in the wilderness at cost

Of painful quests, when I myself had lost.

           ---------------

Love on its shoulders joyfully did lay

Me, weary with the greatness of my way.

           ---------------

Love, lit the lamp, and swept the house all round

Till the lost money in the end was found.

           ---------------

Love the kings image there would stamp again,

Effaced in part, and soiled with rust & Stain

           ---------------

T'was Love, whose quick and ever watchful eye

The wanderer's first-step homeward did espy -

From its own wardrobe, Love gave word to

bring

What things I needed - shoes and robe - and ring.

--------------------------------------

Is not that pretty - so are you - my Love -

When I come down, you shall have a ring

too - and someday a wardrobe - till then

my darling yours in Life and Death

  not one jot or tittle less loving -

   KISSES           Richard
