TAKE all of me, -- I am thine own, heart, soul, Brain, body, -- all; all that I am or dream Is thine forever; yea, though space should teem With thy conditions, I'd fulfil the whole -- Were to fulfil them to be loved of thee. Oh, love me! -- were to love me but a way To kill me -- love me; so to die would be To live forever. Let me hear thee say Once only, "Dear, I love thee," -- then all life Would be one sweet remembrance, thou its king: Nay, thou art that already, and the strife Of twenty worlds could not uncrown thee. Bring, O Time! my monarch to possess his throne Which is my heart and for himself alone. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...PLEDGE by GEORGIA DOUGLAS JOHNSON THE OCTOROON by GEORGIA DOUGLAS JOHNSON SURFACES AND MASKS; 6 by CLARENCE MAJOR TO GOD THE FATHER by KATHERINE MANSFIELD SPOON RIVER ANTHOLOGY: HENRY PHIPPS by EDGAR LEE MASTERS |
