Love Is Strong

by Richard Burton English

A viewless thing is the wind,   But its strength is mightier far Than a phalanxed host in battle line,   Than the limbs of a Samson are. And a viewless thing is Love,   And a name that vanisheth; But her strength is the wind’s wild strength above,   For she conquers shame and Death.
