Chapter 23

 This heart that flutters near my heart

    My hope and all my riches is,

Unhappy when we draw apart

    And happy between kiss and kiss;

My hope and all my riches—yes!—

And all my happiness.

 

For there, as in some mossy nest

    The wrens¹ will divers² treasures keep,

I laid those treasures I possessed³

    Ere that mine eyes had learned to weep.

Shall we not be as wise as they

Though love live but a day?
