The Clod and the Pebble |
«Love seeketh not itself to please |
Nor for itself hath any care |
But for another gives its ease |
And builds a heaven in hell’s despair.» |
So sung a little Clod of Clay |
Trodden with the cattle’s feet |
But a Pebble of the brook |
Warbled out these metres meet: |
«Love seeketh only Self to please |
To bind another to its delight |
Joys in another’s loss of ease |
And builds a hell in heaven’s despite.» |
