LOVE FOR LOVE.
Not because of Beauty,
Or thy golden dower,
Hast thou, Sweet one, over me
Such surpassing power.
Or thy golden dower,
Hast thou, Sweet one, over me
Such surpassing power.
Not thine eyes of April,
Not thy rose-fed youth,
Not thy gentle ways and words
Won my love and truth.
Not thy rose-fed youth,
Not thy gentle ways and words
Won my love and truth.
Not by all enchanted
Do I bend the knee:
Sweet Heart, I love thee—because
Thou so lovest me.
Do I bend the knee:
Sweet Heart, I love thee—because
Thou so lovest me.
