Love

Rhymes Made in a Dream

by Andrew Lang 1844–1912

From Ban and Arriere Ban: A Rally of Fugitive Rhymes

Love

I KNOW not what my secret is,
I know but it is mine;
I know to dwell with it were bliss,
To die for it divine.
I cannot yield it in a kiss,
Nor breathe it in a sigh.
I know that I have lived for this;
For this, my love, I die.
