"The Things That Love Says..."


"You ask me what since we must part
You shall bring back to me.
Bring back a pure and faithful heart
As true as mine to thee.

You talk of gems from foreign lands,
Of treasure, spoil, and prize.
Ah love! I shall not search your hands
But look into your eyes."


From "Gifts" by Juliana Horatia Ewing (1841-85)
