WHAT would I win thee to? dear heart and true!
A thought of bliss, a thornless life? Oh no!
Through weeping pain, Love, I would let thee go;
Through weary days, and widowed nights; yea, through
The Valley of the Shadow, without rue,
If thou couldst gain the goal, Love, even so.
I would not win thee to a fruitful woe;
To best of earth, or best beyond the blue.
And most of all, would thy true lover scorn
To win thee to himself. Thou shalt be free
To have or hate! But 0, my golden morn!
Behold thy lover's passionate bravery –
Mighty, unresting, steadfast, heaven-born
To win thee to the light, which is - to thee!
