I'd rather have the thought of you
To hold against my heart,
My spirit to be taught of you
With west winds blowing,
Thank all the warm caresses
Of another love's bestowing,
Or all the glories of the world
In which you had no part.
I'd rather have the theme of you
To thread my nights and days,
I'd rather have the ream of you
With faint stars glowing,
I'd rather have the want of you,
The rich, elusive taunt of you
Forever and forever and forever unconfessed
Than claim the alien comfort
Of any other's breast.
O lover! O my lover,
That this should come to me!
I'd rather have the hop of you,
Ah, Love, I'd rather grope for you
within the great abyss
Than claim another's kiss -
Alone I'd rather go my way
Throughout eternity.
