Edith Nesbit - The Heart Of Joy
Work rating: Low

DEAR, do you sigh that your love may not stay with you, 
        Laugh with and play with you, 
        Weep with and pray with you, 
            All his life through? 
Think, O my heart, if you never had found me, 
Crept through the cere-clothes the world has wound round me, 
            What would you do? 


Wide is the world, and so many would sigh for you, 
        Long for and cry for you, 
        Weep for and die for you, 
            You being you. 


I only I, am the man you could sigh for, 
Live for and suffer for, sorrow and die for, 
            Twenty lives through. 


Think! Had I missed you! The world was so wide for us, 
        Traps on each side for us, 
        Nothing as guide for us, 
            Yet I and you 
Found Life`s great treasure, the last and the first, love; 
Life`s little things, Time and Space, do their worst, love! 
            What, after all, can they do?
