A Roundelay.
O love! true love, that asks not for return!
O love, true love, that asks but leave to love!
True love that only lives, and likes, to prove
His own sweet wealth, with never need to earn!
O love, true love, that asks but leave to love!
True love that only lives, and likes, to prove
His own sweet wealth, with never need to earn!
O love, pure love, still well content to yearn,
To stand afar, to pray, yet never move!
O most untired desire to give all love
For love's dear sake and ask for no return!
To stand afar, to pray, yet never move!
O most untired desire to give all love
For love's dear sake and ask for no return!
O love, true love, the loved in vain may spurn!
Unheeded love, that in the desert strove!
Unchanging, faithful, never-failing love!
Be sure some day there shall be fair return!
Unheeded love, that in the desert strove!
Unchanging, faithful, never-failing love!
