Alternate Author Name(s): Alleyne, Ellen; Rossetti, Christina
Subject(s): Change; Erotic Love
First, last, and dearest,
My love, mine own,
Thee best beloved,
Thee love alone,
Once and for ever
So love I thee.
First as a suppliant
Love makes his moan,
Then as a monarch
Sets up his throne:
Once and for ever --
So love I thee.
