The Presence of Love 

And in Life's noisiest hour,
 There whispers still the ceaseless Love of Thee,
 The heart's Self-solace and soliloquy.

You mould my Hopes, you fashion me within ;
 And to the leading Love-throb in the Heart
 Thro' all my Being, thro' my pulses beat ;
 You lie in all my many Thoughts, like Light,
 Like the fair light of Dawn, or summer Eve
 On rippling Stream, or cloud-reflecting Lake.
 And looking to the Heaven, that bends above you,
 How oft ! I bless the Lot, that made me love you.

Samuel Taylor Coleridge
