So great my debt to thee, I know my life <br />Is all too short to pay the least I owe, <br />And though I live it all in that sweet strife, <br />Still shall I be insolvent when I go. <br />Bid, then, thy Bailiff Cupid come to me <br />And bind and lead me wheresoe’er thou art, <br />And let me live in sweet captivity <br />Within the debtor’s prison of thy heart.<br /><br />Ellis Parker Butler<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/to-marguerite/
