Wilt thou take me for thy slave, <br />With my folly and my love? <br />Wilt thou take me for the bondsman of thy pride? <br />Thou who dearer art to me than all the world beside; <br />For I love thee as no other man can love. <br /> <br />Wilt thou take me to thy soul, <br />For the truth which thou shalt prove? <br />Wilt thou clothe me with the riches of thy care? <br />Thou who dearer art to me than gold and jewels rare; <br />For I love thee as no other man can love. <br /> <br />Wilt thou take me for thy king, <br />While the sun and stars shall move? <br />Wilt thou pay me back the homage I have given? <br />Oh thou dearer unto me than sun and stars and heaven! <br />For I love thee as no other man can love.<br /><br />Wilfrid Scawen Blunt<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/wilt-thou-take-me-for-thy-slave/
