Where Is All The Love?

They May Rail at this Life by Thomas Moore

 

They may rail at this life -- from the hour I began it

I found it a life full of kindness and bliss;

And, until they can show me some happier planet,

More social and bright, I'll content me with this.

As long as the world has such lips and such eyes

As before me this moment enraptured I see,

They may say what they will of their orbs in the skies,

But this earth is the planet for you, love, and me.

 

In Mercury's star, where each moment can bring them

New sunshine and wit from the fountain on high,

Though the nymphs may have livelier poets to sing them,

They've none, even there, more enamour'd than I.

And, as long as this harp can be waken'd to love,

And that eye its divine inspiration shall be,

They may talk as they will of their Edens above,

But this earth is the planet for you, love, and me.

 

In that star of the west, by whose shadowy splendour,

At twilight so often we've roam'd through the dew,

There are maidens, perhaps, who have bosoms as tender,

And look, in their twilights, as lovely as you.

But though they were even more bright than the queen

Of that Isle they inhabit in heaven's blue sea,

As I never those fair young celestials have seen,

Why -- this earth is the planet for you, love, and me.

 

As for those chilly orbs on the verge of creation,

Where sunshine and smiles must be equally rare,

Did they want a supply of cold hearts for that station,

Heaven knows we have plenty on earth we could spare,

Oh! think what a world we should have of it here,

If the haters of peace, of affection and glee,

Were to fly up to Saturn's comfortless sphere,

And leave earth to such spirits as you, love, and me.

LEAVE SOME WISDOM OF LOVE OR A SAYING DEAR TO YOU, BUT SHOW SOME LOVE!!!

haters need not apply!!!

Peace Comes from Within, Not Without, and Without Peace from Within, one can Never experience True Happiness, which springs forth from True Peace and Love.
