After Keats.

 

All thoughts, all passions, all delights.

Whatever stirs the mortal frame,

all are but ministers of love

 and feed his sacred flame

 

John Keats.

 

All thoughts, all passions all delights

 emotions worthy of the name.

Part of the tapestry of life.

We all play the same game.

 

Whatever stirs the mortal frame

 and wakes us from our lassitude.

Renewing our capacity

 to change our attitude.

 

All are ministers of love.

Although we may not recognise

 that love is the driving force.

Which all things underlies

 

 and feeds his sacred flame

Ever rebellious men ask why

they should accept this as the truth

 You know is loves reply.
