WHAT WOULD YOU DO?
Reading edition
What would you do? If you loved me, As I love you. If you in absence sad, Longed for a moment’s joy— My voice to make you glad— Would you the time employ In going to your lad? And whisper: “Mine alone, Yes, I am thine, my own; In all this busy world—we two— You live for me, and I for you.” What would you do? If you loved me, As I love you. If you were far away, And hungered for a word, Just one—to brighten day; Some message for a bird To carry, would you say? “My lover, mine alone, Yes, I am thine, my own; In all this busy world—just two— You live for me, and I for you.”
