THE LOVER TO HIS LUTE, by                    
First Line: I would make a song for my beloved
Last Line: That she may know how grave a thing my love is, and be glad.
Subject(s): Singing & Singers; Wellesley College; Songs


I WOULD make a song for my Beloved,
A very simple little song,
That she may sing it when the way is long.
It must be merry, then, to cheer her,
And yet a little sad,
A little filled with yearning to be near her,
That she may know how grave a thing my love is, and be glad.
