I how light a cause may move Dissension between hearts that love! Hearts that the world in vain had tried, And sorrow but more closely tied; That stood the storm, when waves were rough, Yet in a sunny hour fall off. - Thomas Moore Alas! how light a cause may move Dissension between hearts that love!
