Don't stay around long,
Not much anymore.
Yesterday's words
Don't make themselves heard
Like they did before.”

Love is Enough (1872), Song V: Through the Trouble and Tangle
Context: Love is enough: through the trouble and tangle

I sought through the vales where the prisoned winds wrangle,
Till, wearied and bleeding, at end of the light
I met him, and we wrestled, and great was my might.
