my Love because my Love loves me.

Ah! that she did so as I'd fain be loved

With love by which the mountains may be moved,

Uprooted and cast in the midmost sea.

Such love surpassing, deep and broad and high,

O'ershadowing all things else in earth, in heaven,

Love unalloyed at morn, at noon, at even,

Love unalloyed when darkness holds the sky.

A Love that overcometh and will prove

Itself through storm and sunshine, frost and fire;

A Love which naught can change, which naught

can tire,

Even Death's self can not destroy such love.
