This is the title of this little. poem by A. G. D. Hoad. It con- tains in its simplicity a force which is at the same time. both sublime and appealing.

Come not to me
On bended knee,.

With crown or sword,
A princely lord
Of noble pomp and place.
Come not to me With prayer or plea,
Or dreams of lofty fate; 'Love does not need To pray or plead,
For love alone is great.
For what thou art Take this my heart,
