If ever two were one, then surely we.
If ever man were lov'd by wife, then thee;
If ever wife was happy in a man,
Compare with me ye women if you can.
I prize thy love more then whole Mines of gold,
Or all the riches that the East doth hold.
My love is such that Rivers cannot quench,
Nor ought but love from thee, give recompence.
Thy love is such I can no way repay,
The heavens reward thee manifold I pray.
Then while we live, in love lets so persever,
That when we live no more, we may live ever.

In quanti modi ti amo?

In quanti modi ti amo? Fammeli contare.
Ti amo fino alla profondità, alla larghezza e all'altezza
Che la mia anima può raggiungere, quando partecipa invisibile
Agli scopi dell'Esistenza e della Grazia ideale.
Ti amo al pari della più modesta necessità
Di ogni giorno, al sole e al lume di candela.
Ti amo generosamente, come chi si batte per la Giustizia;
Ti amo con purezza, come chi si volge dalla Preghiera.
Ti amo con la passione che gettavo
Nei miei trascorsi dolori, e con la fiducia della mia infanzia.
Ti amo di un amore che credevo perduto
Insieme ai miei perduti santi, - ti amo col respiro,
I sorrisi, le lacrime, di tutta la mia vita! - e, se Dio vorrà,
Ti amerò ancora di più dopo la morte.

"Why do I love" You, Sir?
Because -
The Wind does not require the Grass
To answer - Wherefore when He pass
She cannot keep Her place.
Because He knows - and
Do not You -
And We know not -
Enough for Us
The Wisdom it be so -

The Lightning - never asked an Eye
Wherefore it shut - when He was by -
Because He knows it cannot speak -
And reasons not contained - Of Talk -
There be - preferred by Daintier Folk -

The Sunrise - Sir - compelleth Me -
Because He's Sunrise - and I see -
Therefore - Then -
I love Thee.

The Manner of it's Death
When Certain it must die -
'Tis deemed a privilege to choose -
'Twas Major Andre's Way -
When Choice of Life - is past -
There yet remains a Love
It's little Fate to stipulate -

How small in those who live -

The Miracle to teaze
With Babble of the styles -
How "they are Dying mostly - now" -
And Customs at "St. James"!

We do not play on Graves -
Because there is'nt Room -
Besides - it isn't even - it slants
And People come -
And put a Flower on it -
And hang their faces so -
We're fearing that their Hearts will drop -
And crush our pretty play -
And so we move as far
As Enemies - away -
Just looking round to see how far
It is - Occasionally.
Noi non giochiamo sulle Tombe -
Perché non c'è Spazio -
Inoltre - non sono piatte - pendono
E la Gente arriva -
E vi poggia un Fiore -
E china talmente il volto -
Da farci temere che i loro Cuori cadano -
E schiaccino il nostro piacevole gioco -
E così ce ne andiamo
Via - come dai Nemici -
Voltandoci appena per vedere a che distanza
Sia - Di tanto in tanto -

'Tis little I - could care for Pearls -
Who own the ample sea -
Or Brooches - when the Emperor -
With Rubies - pelteth me -
Or Gold - who am the Prince of Mines -
Or Diamonds - when have I
A Diadem to fit a Dome -
Continual upon me.

I heard a Fly buzz - when I died -
The Stillness in the Room
Was like the Stillness in the Air -
Between the Heaves of Storm -
The Eyes around - had wrung them dry -
And Breaths were gathering firm
For that last Onset - when the King
Be witnessed - in the Room -

I willed my Keepsakes - Signed away
What portion of me be
Assignable - and then it was
There interposed a Fly -

With Blue - uncertain - stumbling Buzz -
Between the light - and me -
And then the Windows failed - and then
I could not see to see.

He power to be true to You,
Until upon my face
The Judgment push His Picture -
Presumptuous of Your Place -
Of This - Could Man deprive Me -
Himself - the Heaven excel -
Whose invitation - Your's reduced
Until it showed too small.

Live with Him - I see His face -
I go no more away
For Visitor - or Sundown -
Death's single privacy
The Only One - forestalling Mine -
And that - by Right that He
Presents a Claim invisible -
No wedlock - granted Me -

I live with Him - I hear His Voice -
I stand alive - Today -
To witness to the Certainty
Of Immortality -

Taught Me - by Time - the lower Way -
Conviction - Every day -
That Life like This - is stopless -
Be Judgment - what it may.

Why make it doubt - it hurts it so -
So sick - to guess -
So strong - to know -
So brave - upon it's little Bed
To tell the very last They said
Unto Itself - and smile - And shake -
For that dear - distant - dangerous - Sake -
But - the Instead - the Pinching fear
That Something - it did do - or dare -
Offend the Vision - and it flee -
And They no more remember me -
Nor ever turn to tell me why -
Oh, Master, This is Misery.
