Lots of Love
— love
That I have treasured all my life —
To each of those
Who are distressed
Either by Fate or the ways of the world!
I throw open the gates
Of my small habitation
To give shelter to the life and honour
Of those who are hit
Hard by Nature's ironies,
Or, by worldly ridicules.
O ye,
The downtrodden, distressed, dejected ones!
I welcome you
With the fragrant gleeful bouquets
Of new hopes and a lively faith!
Covet your life with beauty
And fill your heart
With an earthly fragrance!
