Do I Love Thee
Do I love thee? O let me think and let me see.
Yes I do love thee with a courtesy of an undyin’ love;
With the entirety of my heart; with the gift and the vow from above.
With the depths of untaint’d love; infinite like a deep sea;
And by my love I swear, I’ll love thee ‘til we see the death of death –
And no displeasure, my belov’d, shall loom in our love behind.
I love thee unreservedly, as delight fills full my mind;
I’ll love thee delicately, with the love I inherit’d at birth.
To the breaking of each dawn’s life! – and, if kismet shall choose,
I shall love thee better, so better can bring to us eternised eternity;
Destiny decided by fate and providence of love without impurity –
From enamourèd heart that adores me so fair I dare never to lose.
For, I when in love with YOU, shall be liberated from anguish,
And if I but die and osculate you goodbye, never I shall languish.
