- I once thought how Theocritus had sung -- But only three in all God's universe -- Unlike are we, unlike, O princely heart! -- Thou has thy calling to some palace floor -- I lift up my heavy heart solemnly -- Go from me. Yet I feel that I shall stand -- The face of all the world is changed, I think -- What can I give thee back, o liberal -- Can it be right to give what I can give? -- Yet, love, mere love is beautiful indeed -- And therefore if to love can be desert -- Indeed this very love which is my boast -- And wilt thou have me fashion into speech -- If thou must love me, let it be for nought -- Accuse me not -- And yet, because thou overcomest so -- My poet, thou can'st touch on all the notes God set between -- I never gave a lock of hair away to a man -- The soul's Rialto hath its merchandise -- Beloved, my beloved -- Say over again, and yet once over again -- When our two souls stand up erect and strong -- Is it indeed so?
- Let the world's sharpness, like a clasping knife -- A heavy heart, Beloved -- I lived with visions for my company -- My own Beloved, who hast lifted me -- My letters! all dead paper, mute and white! -- I think of thee! my thougts do twine and bud about thee -- I see thine image thro' my tears tonight -- Thou comest! all is said without a word -- The first time that the sun rose on thine oath -- Yes, call me by my pet name! -- With the same heart, I said -- If I leave all for thee, wilt thou exchange and be all to me? -- When we first met and loved -- Pardon, oh, pardon, that my soul should make -- First twice he kissed me, he but only kissed -- Because thou hast the pow'r and own'st the grace
- Oh, yes! they love through all this world of ours! -- I thank all who have loved me in their hearts -- My future will not copy fair my past -- How do I love thee? -- Beloved, thou hast brought me many flowers --
