Wilfrid Scawen Blunt - The Love Sonnets Of Proteus. Part II: To Juliet: XXVIII
Work rating: Low

IN ANSWER TO A QUESTION
 Why should I hate you, love, or why despise
 For that last proof of tenderness you gave?
 The battle is not always to the brave,
 Nor life`s sublimest wisdom to the wise.
 True courage often is in frightened eyes,
 And reason in sweet lips that only rave.
 There is a weakness stronger than the grave,
 And blood poured out has overcome the skies.
 --Nay, love, I honour you the more for this,
 That you have rent the veil, and ushered in
 A fellow soul to your soul`s holy place.
 And why should either blush that we have been
 One day in Eden, in our nakedness?
 --`Tis conscience makes us sinners, not our sin.
