Domestic happiness, thou only bliss
Of Paradise that has survived the fall!
Cowper.
Love is life's end: an end but never ending;
All joys, all sweets, all happiness awarding;
Love is life's wealth, ne'er spent but ever spending,
More rich by giving, taking by discarding;
Love's life's reward, rewarded in rewarding.
Spenser.
