[So sweet is my love's name that all]

So sweet is my love's name that all
Seem, chancing in the ways
Another by this name to call,
To crown her with full praise.

The lyre of Love I locked away,
Its chords were bright and true.
Is not to-morrow as to-day,
To sing Love's service due?
In rust and dust I turned the key
To take again my lyre:
The tuneful shell was cracked, ah me!
And broke each golden wire.
