John Clare - Love Cannot Die
Work rating: Low

In crime and enmity they lie
Who sin and tell us love can die,
Who say to us in slander`s breath
That love belongs to sin and death.
From heaven it came on angel`s wing
To bloom on earth, eternal spring;
In falsehood`s enmity they lie
Who sin and tell us love can die.

Twas born upon an angel`s breast.
The softest dreams, the sweetest rest,
The brightest sun, the bluest sky,
Are love`s own home and canopy.
The thought that cheers this heart of mine
Is that of love; love so divine
They sin who say in slander`s breath
That love belongs to sin and death.

The sweetest voice that lips contain,
The sweetest thought that leaves the brain,
The sweetest feeling of the heart--
There`s pleasure in its very smart.
The scent of rose and cinnamon
Is not like love remembered on;
In falsehood`s enmity they lie
Who sin and tell us love can die.
