A small romantic poem in older english. |
| Wist not that I love thee Less than these: Cheap trinkets and pennies Which moths and dust do destroy. No expense have I suffered Or ere proffered I would not have offered For to glimpse thee, my joy. Would I not trade my sight, Black as night, Blot out the sun so bright, And curse to fall the fair moon? 'Tis pale and wan, as am I As if I've died I might as as well be blind For naught is worth sight but you. |
