All in All
In
Love, if Love be Love, if Love be ours,
Faith
and unfaith can ne'er be equal powers:
Unfaith
in aught is want of faith in all.
It
is the little rift within the lute,
That
by and by will make the music mute,
And
ever widening slowly silence all.
The
little rift within the lover's lute,
Or
little pitted speck in garner'd fruit,
That
rotting inward slowly moulders all.
It
is not worth the keeping: let it go:
But
shall it? answer, darling, answer, no.
And
trust me not at all or all in all.
Alfred Lord Tennyson |
