Alfred Austin - Love’s FitfulnessAlfred Austin - Love’s Fitfulness
Work rating: Low


You say that I am fitful. Sweet, `tis true; But `tis that I your fitfulness obey. If you are April, how can I be May, Or flaunt bright roses when you wear sad rue? Shine like the sun, and my sky will be blue; Sing, and the lark shall envy me my lay: I do but follow where you point the way, And what I feel you doing, straight must do. The wind might just as well reproach the vane, As you upbraid me for my shiftings, dear: Blow from the south, and south I shall remain; If you keep fixed, be sure I shall not veer. Nay, on your change my changes so depend, If ends your love, why then my love must end.
