O great Love! This world is deep
\nAnd how much deeper is my love!
\nThrough tribulation, we are stronger
\nAnd through our strength and admiration
\nHurricanes will fall and break
\nAgainst us, no great force prevails
\nIn endless joy we stand victorious!<\/p>\n

O my Love! How darkness gathers
\nBehold the height of rising waves!
\nSee the storm-clouds spiral endless
\nAnd the waters, foaming white
\nOur love will hold; fear not our walls!
\nHow mighty are the forces op’osed
\nBut see now, mightier thou, and I!<\/p>\n

O wind-swept love! Your tangled hair
\nAnd fearful eyes have stricken me!
\nYour hope is leaking as typhoons
\nAnd tidal waves crash down to earth
\nHold tight my hand, my arm, my love
\nHold thy breath, as one we rise
\nTo break upon the water’s surface.<\/p>\n

O drowning love! Why have you left?
\nWhere did you dive, so I might follow!
\nLet me close, don’t swim away
\nMy love, your life is worth a chance
\nDo not let fear take hold of you
\nLet not leviathan see you thus
\nAt once he grabs, and grips you fast.<\/p>\n

O lost love! This sea is deep
\nAnd at the bottom is my love!
\nWe challenged nature, in our blindness
\nWeakened by our pride and youth
\nHurry, darkness! Hasten, dusk!
\nI long for chilled rest, treading thus
\nWith weakened arms, and bitter sadness.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
