Give All to Love

by Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803 – 1882)

Give All to Love

Obey thy heart;

Friends kindred days

Estate good fame

Plans credit and the Muse¡

Nothing refuse.

‘Tis a brave master;

Let it have scope:

Follow it utterly

Hope beyond hope:

High and more high

It dives into noon

With wing unspent

Untold intent;

But it is a god

Knows its own path

And the outlets of the sky.

It was never for the mean;

It requireth courage stout

Souls above doubt

Valour unbending:

Such ’twill reward;

They shall return

More than they were

And ever ascending.

Leave all for love;

Yet hear me yet

One word more thy heart behoved

One pulse more of firm endeavour

Keep thee to-day

To-morrow for ever

Free as an Arab

Of thy beloved.

Cling with life to the maid;

But when the surprise

First vague shadow of surmise

Flits across her bosom young

Of a joy apart from thee

Free be she fancy-free;

Nor thou detain her vesture’s hem

Nor the palest rose she flung

From her summer diadem.

Though thou loved her as thyself

As a self of purer clay;

Though her parting dims the day

Stealing grace from all alive;

Heartily know

When half-gods go

The gods arrive.
