Deprive This Strange And Complex World

Title:     Deprive This Strange And Complex World
Author: Alfred Castner King [More Titles by King]

Deprive this strange and complex world
Of all the charms of art;
Deprive it of those sweeter joys
Which music doth impart;
But oh, preserve that smile, which tells
The secret of the heart!

The world may lose its massive piles
Which point their spires above;
May spare the tuneful nightingale
And gently cooing dove;
But woe betide it, if it lose
The sentiment of love!

[The end]
Alfred Castner King's poem: Deprive This Strange And Complex World
