WILT thou take me for thy slave, With my folly and my love? Wilt thou take me for the bondsman of thy pride? Thou who dearer art to me than all the world beside; For I love thee as no other man can love. Wilt thou take me to thy soul, For the truth which thou shalt prove? Wilt thou clothe me with the riches of thy care? Thou who dearer art to me than gold and jewels rare; For I love thee as no other man can love. Wilt thou take me for thy king, While the sun and stars shall move? Wilt thou pay me back the homage I have given? Oh thou dearer unto me than sun and stars and heaven! For I love thee as no other man can love. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...AN UNINSCRIBED MONUMENT - BATTLE OF THE WILDERNESS by HERMAN MELVILLE SONNET: 151 by WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE THE QUAKER WIDOW by BAYARD TAYLOR LEAVE A KISS WITHIN THE CUP by AGATHIAS SCHOLASTICUS WESTERN MORNING by WILLIMINA L.
