Hall, Eliza Calvert: One Way of Love - ZaunköniG - 01.07.2007 One Way of Love I cannot measure for thee, drop by drop, Thy draught of love, my hands, dear, tremble so: Behold the chalice, how the bright drops glow And still I pour, although thou bid'st me stop, Till the rich wine mounts to the goblet's top, And the dry earth receives the overflow. Too generous am I? Ah, say not so! Love that doth count its gifts is a weak prop Whereon to stay a weary human heart. Yes, draw me closer, love. Perchance I may, Clasped in thine arms, forget the dreaded day When thou, my love, my soul, my life's best part In cold satiety wild turn thee round, And dash the poor cup broken to the ground. |
