Give All To Love by Ralph Waldo Emerson

GIVE ALL TO LOVE:


Give all to love
Obey thy heart
Friends, Kindred, Days,
Estate, good-fame,
Plans, credit, and the muse,
Nothing Refuse


‘Tis a brave master:
Let it have scope
Follow it uttery
Hope beyond hope
High and more high
It dives into noon
With wing unspent,
Untold intent

But it is a god, knows it’s own path
And the outlets of the sky
It was not for the mean

It requireth courage stout,
Souls about doubt,
Valor unbending,
It will reward
They shall return
More than they were,
And over ascending.


By Ralph Waldo Emerson
