SONG: "SWEET IS THE BIRTH OF LOVE", a poem

SWEET is the birth of love, and the awaking,
     The bashful dream, the faltering desire,
The vision fair—of all fair things partaking—
     The wonder, the communicable fire:
Sweet is the need to give and to obtain,—
     And sweet love's pain!
"Song: 'Sweet is the Birth of Love'" by Florence Earle Coates. Published in Lyrics of Life (1909) and Poems (1916) Volume II.
