LOVE'S USURY by JOHN BANISTER TABB

First Line: I LOVE YOU; AND BECAUSE YOU DO NOT LOVE
Last Line: I GAVE; THE RICHER, FOR ENRICHING YOU.
Subject(s): LOVE - UNREQUITED;
I love you; and because you do not love,
I am the poorer and the richer, too;
The poorer, for you've taken all whereof
I gave; the richer, for enriching @3you@1.
