Love’s Lantern<\/h1>\n

by Joyce Kilmer<\/p>\n

\u00a0(For Aline)<\/p>\n

Because the road was steep and long
\nAnd through a dark and lonely land,
\nGod set upon my lips a song
\nAnd put a lantern in my hand.<\/p>\n

Through miles on weary miles of night
\nThat stretch relentless in my way
\nMy lantern burns serene and white,
\nAn unexhausted cup of day.<\/p>\n

\nHow dim your boasted splendors are.
\nBehold this little lamp of mine;
\nIt is more starlike than a star!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
