When Love Meets Love
By Thomas Edward Brown (1830–1897)
 
WHEN love meets love, breast urged to breast,
God interposes,
An unacknowledged guest,
And leaves a little child among our roses.
 
We love, God makes: in our sweet mirth        5
God spies occasion for a birth.
Then is it His, or is it ours?
I know not—He is fond of flowers.
