Love
Songs of Love, 10
Translated by Edgar Alfred Bowring (1908) · From Early Poems: Songs of Love
Love
Thou spak’st and gav’st a lock to me
Of thy dear silken hair;
“Wear this, and I for ever thee
“Within my heart will wear.”
Full oft have heart and hair been call’d
To act this loving part.
Now say: is not thy head yet bald?
And full thy little heart?
