| From The Passers-by DEAR, take my love and do not hesitate. | |
You think that I shall always wait, | |
I am so calm. | |
(It is to reassure, and to inspire | |
New confidence in you.) | 5 |
Quick, take my love before it is too late! | |
|
Here are my hands held out to give to you | |
Their treasuressome old, some new, | |
All dear to me. | |
Oh, do not agonize me by delay, | 10 |
And musing which to take! | |
Quick!say I gave them to you, passing through. | | | |
