This Heart that Flutters Near My Heart by James Joyce

 This heart that flutters near my heart 
My hope and all my riches is, 
Unhappy when we draw apart 
And happy between kiss and kiss: 
My hope and all my riches -- - yes! -- - 
And all my happiness. 

For there, as in some mossy nest 
The wrens will divers treasures keep, 
I laid those treasures I possessed 
Ere that mine eyes had learned to weep. 
Shall we not be as wise as they 
Though love live but a day?
