"THIS IS MY LOVE FOR YOU"
I have brought the wine
And the folded raiment fine,
Pilgrim staff and
shoe -
This is my love for you.
I will smooth your bed,
Lay away your coverlid,
Sing the whole day
through.
This is my love for you.
Mayhap in the night,
When the dark beats back the light,
I shall
struggle too . . .
This is my love for you.
In your dream, once more,
Will a star lead to my door?
To stars and
dreams be true
This is my love for you . . .
From: Stevenson, Burton Egbert.
