‘Tis a fearful thing
    To love
    What death can touch.
    To love, to hope, to dream,

    And oh, to lose.
    A thing for fools, this,
    Love,
    But a holy thing,
    To love what death can touch.

    For your life has lived in me;
    Your laugh once lifted me;
    Your word was a gift to me;

    To remember this brings painful joy.

    ‘Tis a human thing, love,
    A holy thing,
    To love
    What death can touch.

- Judah Halevi
