The Test of Love -- is Death --
Our Lord -- "so loved" -- it saith --
What Largest Lover -- hath
Another -- doth --

If smaller Patience -- be --
Through less Infinity --
If Bravo, sometimes swerve --
Through fainter Nerve --

Accept its Most --
And overlook -- the Dust --
Last -- Least --
The Cross' -- Request --
