In Love, if Love be Love, if Love be ours,
Faith and unfaith ne’er be equal powers:
Un faith 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 meat all or all in all.
