Um, poetry?

People have been posting poems lately, and I approve, so here is one that I've loved since I was fifteen or so.

In regular harmony
The world moves through its changes;
Seeds in competition with each other
Are held in balance by eternal law;
Phoebus brings rosy dawns
In his golden chariot
That his sister Phoebe may rule the nights
That Hesperus brings;
The waves of the greedy sea
Are kept in fixed bounds,
Nor may the land move out
And extend its limits.
What binds all things to order,
Governing earth and sea and sky,
Is love.
If love's rein slackened
All things now held in mutual love
At once would fall to warring with each other
Striving to wreck that engine of the world
Which now they drive
In mutual trust with motion beautiful.
And love joins peoples too
By a sacred bond,
And ties the knot of holy matrimony
That binds chaste lovers,
Joins too with its law
All faithful comrades.
O happy race of men,
If the love that rules the stars
May also rule your hearts!

--Boethius

I've always thought that "In mutual trust with motion beautiful" would be an kickin' title for a book of some sort. ::ponders::
