This stanza is from 94, a poem by E.E. Cummings. The poem appears in a book entitled 95 Poems, first published in 1950. The book is dedicated to marion, his wife. M found the poem for me: Sue and Fran gave us a call to let us know that they recited the stanza's words during their marriage vows. Let us all give the words an airing:
love is the voice under all silences,
the hope which has no opposite in fear;
the strength so strong mere force is feebleness:
the truth more first than sun more last than star
