Darling little woman, just a little line, <br />Just a little silver word <br />For that dear gold of thine, <br />Only a whisper you have so often heard: <br /> <br />Only such a whisper as hidden in a shell <br />Holds a little breath of all the mighty sea, <br />But think what a little of all its depth and swell, <br />And think what a little is this little note of me. <br /> <br />'Darling, I love thee, that is all I live for'- <br />There is the whisper stealing from the shell, <br />But here is the ocean, O so deep and boundless, <br />And each little wave with its whisper as well.<br /><br />Richard Le Gallienne<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/a-love-letter-9/
