The Well of Passion

How often can the well be drawn
Before it comes up dry?
How deep the waters?
How full the pail?
What do you measure by?
If passion be a seamy thing
Distraught by lust or greed,
No mortal mind can save a heart
Inbred without a creed.
Passion with compassion is the
Path that makes us great,
But life without compassion
Is the breeding ground for hate.
