Love lights his fire to burn my Past —
There goes the house where I was born!
And even Friendship — Love declares —
Must feed his precious flames and burn.

I stuffed my life with odds and ends,
But how much joy can Knowledge give?
The World my guide, I lived to learn —
From Love, alone, I learn to live.
