| I ask not I ASK not for possession of thy heart: Thou art no chattel to be bought and sold, No precious plaything wrought with curious art, For all to covet and for one to hold. I ask not if the magnet of desire Will draw at last thy spirit near to mine: Not this my dream, but ever soaring higher To merge at last my spirit's life in thine. I ask no boon, no guerdon save the right To give my love, my life, myself to thee, Bound to they soul with chains of golden light, Blest in my bondage, freer than the free. I ask for freedom to obey love's call; I ask for nothing, yet I ask for all.. |
