The Well of Passion

How often can the well be drawn

Before it comes up dry?

How deep the waters?

How full the pail?

What do you measure by?

If passion be a seamy thing

Distraught by lust or greed,

No mortal mind can save a heart

Inbred without a creed.

Passion with compassion is the

Path that makes us great,

But life without compassion

Is the breeding ground for hate.
