Of writing many books there is no end.
The English have a scornful insular way Of calling the French light.
I love thee freely, as men strive for right. I love thee purely, as they turn from praise. I love thee with the passion put to use
And each man stands with his face in the light. Of his own drawn sword, ready to do what a hero can.
I worked with patience which means almost power.
For frequent tears have run; The colours from my life.
