If thou must love me, let it be for nought
Except for love's sake only. Do not say
'I love her for her smile---her...
|
Go from me. Yet I feel that I shall stand |
If thou must love me, let it be for naught |
I Never gave a lock of hair away |
Say over again, and yet once over again, |
My letters! all dead paper,… mute and white!— |
If I leave all for thee, wilt thou exchange |
First time he kissed me, he but only kissed |
Because thou hast the power and own’st the grace |
How do I love thee? Let me count the ways. |
