[I gave her love: I gave her faith and truth]
1
I gave her love: I gave her faith and truth:I gave her adoration, vassalage,
And tribute of life's best: the dreams of youth,
The deeds of manhood, and the stores of age.
2
She took my gifts, and turn'd them into pain.Each gift she made a bitter curse to be,
Then, marr'd, she gave them back to me again.
And this is all she ever gave to me.
