[00:07.52] | If thou must love me, let it be for nought |
[00:10.72] | Except for love’s sake only. Do not say |
[00:14.75] | 'I love her for her smile…her look…her way |
[00:17.74] | Of speaking gently, … for a trick of thought |
[00:20.51] | That falls in well with mine, and certs brought |
[00:23.59] | A sense of pleasant ease on such a day'- |
[00:26.86] | For these things in themselves, Beloved, may |
[00:29.44] | Be changed, or change for thee, -and love, so wrought, |
[00:34.76] | May be unwrought so. Neither love me for |
[00:38.15] | Thine own dear pity’s wiping my cheeks dry, |
[00:42.35] | A creature might forget to weep, who bore |
[00:44.47] | Thy comfot long, and lose thy love thereby. |
[00:48.90] | But love me for love’s sake, that evermore |
[00:52.42] | Thou may’st love on, through love’s eternity. |
[00:56.21] |
[00:07.52] | If thou must love me, let it be for nought |
