WHAT shall I give for thee, Thou Pearl of greatest price? For all the treasures I possess Would not suffice. I give my store of gold; It is but earthly dross: But thou wilt make me rich, beyond All fear of loss. Mine honours I resign; They are but small at best: Thou like a royal star wilt shine Upon my breast. My worldly joys I give, The flowers with which I played; Thy beauty, far more heavenly fair, Shall never fade. Dear Lord, is that enough? @3Nay, not a thousandth part.@1 Well, then, I have but one thing more: Take Thou my heart. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...GOD'S YOUTH by LOUIS UNTERMEYER SEVEN SAD SONNETS: 6.
