| 191. Á Toi |
| | | By Alys Hungerford |
| |
| |
| ALL that I am is Thine, | |
| My body, my heart, my soul; | |
| Thou fillest my life as wine | |
| Filleth a white glass bowl: | |
| Colourless, cold, and thin | 5 |
| But for the wine therein. | |
| |
| Can I say more to Thee? | |
| Nay, there is naught to be said, | |
| Thine am I, living or dead; | |
| Thou art the All for me: | 10 |
| Take but thy love away | |
| I am but dead cold clay. | |
| |
| Fear not my love binds Thee, | |
| What is the Earth to the Sun? | |
| Is it his care that the Sea | 15 |
| Lies dark, when the day is done? | |
| Leave me; Thou art most free, | |
| What is my love to Thee? | |
| |
