Shall Then It Profit To Me

I do intent to carved thy name 
Upon these leaves of countless twigs 
But lo my hands had gone to lame 
As all my pains do come in league.
If I do writ it on the leaves 
Will then the notes be thine receive?
And leaves will soon on grounds be fall
Then shall it profit to my soul?
