Francis Thompson - What shall I your true love tell?Francis Thompson - What shall I your true love tell?
Work rating: Low


What shall I your true love tell, Earth forsaking maid? What shall I your true love tell When life`s spectre`s laid? "Tell him that, our side the grave, Maid may not believe Life should be so sad to have, That`s so sad to leave!" What shall I your true love tell When I come to him? What shall I your true love tell Eyes growing dim? "Tell him this, when you shall part From a maiden pined; That I see him with my heart, Now my eyes are blind." What shall I your true love tell Speaking while is scant? What shall I your true love tell Death`s white postulant? "Tell him love, with speech at strife, For last utterance saith: `I who loved with all my life, Loved with all my death.`"
