Last Line: My love can never fade!
Subject(s): Hearts; Love - Nature Of; Passion; Worship


Oh! I have loved thee fondly,
With all a poet's power;
My soul hath been thy dwelling place,
My heart hath been thy bower!

Oh! I have loved so fondly,
That angels, throned on high,
Have marvelled at the worshipping
Which breathed in every sigh!

A love so pure and holy,
That, to behold it scorned,
The spirits on their starry thrones
Have murmuringly mourned!

A love so pure and holy,
The angels in the sky
Bowed down and veiled their faces, that
They might not see it die!

But 'tis as deep as holy,
And while life lasts, dear maid,
Though I be never loved by thee,
My love can never fade!
