"How strong the ties of kindred and long love,
How dear the intercourse of heart with heart,
Sunny or sorrowful, as each sweet day
Draws out still more of that which is within!
Man wishes to be loved-expects to be so;
And yet how few live so as to be loved!
Each to the other says, 'Come, love me,' yet
Who among the thousands lives the loveable
Heart-winning life? 'Tis love that winneth love:
Words are too often mockers; gentle deeds
Knit souls together, fusing into one

Divided thoughts and hopes, and fears and joys."

H. Bonar.
