THE TOPMOST BOUGH by GAMALIEL BRADFORD

First Line: DON'T YOU LOVE ME NOW
Last Line: GOD, THEN, I'LL FORGET YOU.
Subject(s): LOVE - LOSS OF;

Don't you love me now,
After all my sighing,
Swearing to you how
I'm dying, dying, dying?

Don't you love me now,
After I have set you
On love's topmost bough? --
God, then, I'll forget you.
