Love's Trial

Pure love blessed by heaven above, shines forth from within my soul
And pain must be endured for a love secured as an honorable and most
 worthy toll.
Had I yeilded to temptation to find other relations that might spare me
 some pain for the time,
Love's pure light, the essence of delight, might have dimmed, causing me
 to cease my spiritual clime.
All destinies must be earned, for what is then learned carries well beyond
 the grave,
And some earthly torment may be set to preclude all debt for the divine
 pleasure, in love, we bathe.
Please find me worthy of your love divine.
Forgive all my self pity and take me to be thine.
