Ask Not of Me

Improvement Era, vol. 9, no. 8, June 1906, p. 620

Young Men’s Mutual Improvement Associations

ASK NOT OF ME. Ask not of me, Love, what is love? Ask what is good of God above; Ask of the great sun what is light? Ask what is darkness of the night; Ask sin of what may be forgiven; Ask what is happiness of heaven; Ask what is folly of the crowd; Ask what is fashion of tne shroud; Ask what is sweetness of thy kiss; Ask of thyself what beauty is. —Pailey, Festus.
