[00:37.42]Are there two things,
[00:40.76]Of all which men possess,
[00:43.56]That are so like each other and so near,
[00:47.48]As mutual Love
[00:49.58]Seems like to Happiness?
[00:54.84]
[01:01.37]Dear Asra,
[01:04.73]Woman beyond utterance dear!
[01:09.87]This love which ever welling at my heart,
[01:13.54]Now in its living fount doth heave and fall,
[01:18.84]Now overflowing pours thro’every part Of all my frame,
[01:25.74]And fills and changes all,
[01:28.70]Like vernal waters springing up through snow,
[01:32.98]This Love that seeming great beyond the power Of growth,
[01:37.98]yet seemeth ever more to grow,
[01:41.23]Could I transmute the whole
[01:44.44]To one rich Dower Of Happy Life,
[01:49.52]And give it all to Thee,
[01:52.93]
[01:53.08]Thy lot,
[01:54.97]Methinks,
[01:57.02]Were Heaven,
[01:59.28]Thy age,
[02:01.64]Eternity!
[02:04.00]
