Chapter 21

 Say over again, and yet once over again,

That thou dost love me.  Though the word repeated

Should seem a “cuckoo-song,” as thou dost treat it,

Remember, never to the hill or plain,

Valley and wood, without her cuckoo-strain

Comes the fresh Spring in all her green completed.

Belov?d, I, amid¹ the darkness greeted

By a doubtful² spirit-voice, in that doubt’s pain

Cry, “Speak once more—thou lovest!”  Who can fear

Too many stars, though each in heaven shall roll,

Too many flowers, though each shall crown³ the year?

Say thou dost love me, love me, love me—toll

The silver iterance!—only minding, Dear,

To love me also in silence with thy soul.
