LITTLE lady of my heart! Just a little longer, Love me: we will pass and part, Ere this love grow stronger. I have loved thee, Child! too well, To do aught but leave thee: Nay! my lips should never tell Any tale, to grieve thee. Little lady of my heart! Just a little longer, I may love thee: we will part, Ere my love grow stronger. Soon thou leavest fairy-land; Darker grow thy tresses: Soon no more of hand in hand; Soon no more caresses! Little lady of my heart! Just a little longer, Be a child: then, we will part, Ere this love grow stronger. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...FIRST OR LAST (SONG) by THOMAS HARDY WHOLE DUTY OF CHILDREN by ROBERT LOUIS STEVENSON FRAGMENT OF AN 'ANTIGONE' by MATTHEW ARNOLD THE JEW'S APPEAL TO THE CHRISTIAN by J.
