LOVE ME AT LAST
Reading edition
Love me at last, or if you will not, Leave me; Hard words could never, as these half-words, Grieve me: Love me at last—or leave me. Love me at last, or let the last word uttered Be but your own; Love me, or leave me—as a cloud, a vapor, Or a bird flown. Love me at last—I am but sliding water Over a stone. Alice Corbin
