Love's fire
G. Bantock
Soul that weepest sore, how is Love's wound
that was allayed in thee
inflaming through thy heart again!
nay, nay, for God's sake, nay for God's sake,
O infatuate, stir not the fire
that flickers low among the ashes.
For soon, O oblivious of thy pains,
so sure as Love catches thee in flight,
again he will torture his found runaway.
