To--
How I was careful not to wend your way
And fall mere victim to your power’s thrust,
But needless, saying so, I must now say
With shame, “how can I love you if I trust
You not?” I’ll live forever in my grief
And never climb from out my deep despair
Just knowing with a thought I can’t conceive:
The fact that you show not a joy or care
In loving me, embracing love’s fine art
And never lying; putting to the test
Your strong forbearance still, I’ll never part
From you, but lock your heart within my breast.
Should I fall prey to love’s immortal rue?
Nay, I’ll forgive you as true lovers do.
