SAY that I should say I love ye, Would you say 'tis but a saying? But if Love in prayers move ye, Will ye not be moved with praying? Think I think that Love should know ye, Will you think 'tis but a thinking? But if Love the thought do show ye, Will ye loose your eyes with winking? Write that I do write you blessed, Will you write 'tis but a writing? But if Truth and Love confess it, Will ye doubt the true inditing? No, I say, and think, and write it, Write, and think, and say your pleasure; Love, and truth, and I indite it, You are blessèd out of measure. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE RETURN (1) by GEORGIA DOUGLAS JOHNSON SPOON RIVER ANTHOLOGY: GEORGE GRAY by EDGAR LEE MASTERS I MAY, I MIGHT, I MUST by MARIANNE MOORE AN EXPATIATION ON THE COMBINING OF WEATHERS AT THIRTY .... by HAYDEN CARRUTH THE EXISTING POOL by HAYDEN CARRUTH A TIME TO DANCE by CECIL DAY LEWIS LOCKED OUT; AS TOLD TO A CHILD by ROBERT FROST |
