| [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] |
