If ever two were one, then surely we. <br />If ever man were lov'd by wife, then thee. <br />If ever wife was happy in a man, <br />Compare with me, ye women, if you can. <br />I prize thy love more than whole Mines of gold <br />Or all the riches that the East doth hold. <br />My love is such that Rivers cannot quench, <br />Nor ought but love from thee give recompetence. <br />Thy love is such I can no way repay. <br />The heavens reward thee manifold, I pray. <br />Then while we live, in love let's so persever <br />That when we live no more, we may live ever.<br /><br />Anne Bradstreet<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/we-may-live-together/
