From "The Prophet".
- "True love gives
nothing but itself
- And takes nothing but from itself
- Love does not possess, nor would it be possessed
- For love is sufficient unto love.
- Love has no other desire but to fulfill itself,
- To awake at dawn with a winged heart and
- Give thanks for another day of loving.
- To rest at noon and meditate love’s ecstasy;
- To return home at eventide with gratitude,
- And then to sleep with a prayer for the beloved in
your heart
- And a song of praise upon your lips.
