Love not blind

Love not blind but kinder still than nature's prayer,
Made life and then the law of love which never lied,
Bathed their hearts but not their eyes with light.
They played their parts and had their daily share
Of bread for some had none to eat in sight.
And come what may they did not care,
For come what may the things they did were right.
The way was plain to see, it was plainly right to share,
That load, at least, was light to bear.
And none did not believe in what was right,
All the seers saw that it was right to care.
Where faith and works were one and love was prayer,
All lived a life of love with such a love of life,
And they if they had eyes to see the light,
May have seen it was the law which gave them sight,
Which saved the day with time to spare,
And paved the way for much delight.
