Love
To Amanda: Accept, loved Nymph
From Complete Poetical Works, ed. J. Logie Robertson (1908)
Love
Accept, loved Nymph, this tribute due
To tender friendship, love, and you ;
But with it take what breathed the whole,
O take to thine the poet's soul.
If fancy here her power displays,
And if a heart exalts these lays,
You fairest in that fancy shine,
And all that heart is fondly thine.
