<p class="poetry"><span class="smcap">Ask</span> nothing more of
me, sweet;<br/>
All I can give you I give.<br/>
Heart of my heart, were it
more,<br/>
More would be laid at your feet:<br/>
Love that should help you to live,<br/>
Song that should spur you to
soar.</p>
<p class="poetry">All things were nothing to give<br/>
Once to have sense of you more,<br/>
Touch you and taste of you
sweet,<br/>
Think you and breathe you and live,<br/>
Swept of your wings as they soar,<br/>
Trodden by chance of your
feet.</p>
<p class="poetry">I that have love and no more<br/>
Give you but love of you, sweet:<br/>
He that hath more, let him
give;<br/>
He that hath wings, let him soar;<br/>
Mine is the heart at your feet<br/>
Here, that must love you to
live.</p>
