Except for loves sake only. Do not say
Thine own dear pitys wiping my cheeks dry,--
I stand transfigured, glorified aright,
Let temple burn, or flax; an equal light
I am not all unworthy. Cheeks as pale
To draw mens eyes and prove the inner cost,--

A melancholy music,--why advert
Thou mayst love on, through loves eternity.
Thy soul hath snatched up mine all faint and weak,
Doth crown me with a ruby large enow
From that same love this vindicating grace,
To live on still in love, and yet in vain,--

In love, when love the lowest: meanest creatures
A creature might forget to weep, who bore

I love her for her smile--her look--her way

To climb Aornus, and can scarce avail
How that great work of Love enhances Natures.

With conscience of the new rays that proceed
Of speaking gently,--for a trick of thought
Of what

Except for loves sake only. Do not say
And which, when rising up from breast to brow,
For these things in themselves, Beloved, may

And placed it by thee on a golden throne,--
Indeed this very love which is my boast,
And that I love (O soul, we must be meek !)
I should not love withal, unless that thou

When first thine earnest eyes with mine were crossed,
If thou must love me, let it be for nought
And therefore if to love can be desert,
May be unwrought so. Neither love me for
To these things ? O Beloved, it is plain
To bless thee, yet renounce thee to thy face.
And worthy of acceptation. Fire is bright,
And yet, because I love thee, I obtain

To bear the burden of a heavy heart,--
Yet, love, mere love, is beautiful indeed
Be changed, or change for thee,--and love, so wrought,
For these things in themselves, Beloved, may
