Love's Apotheosis
Love me. I care not what the
circling years
To me may do.
If, but in spite of time and tears,
You prove but true.
Love me - albeit grief shall dim
mine eyes,
And tears bedew,
I shall not e'en complain, for then
my skies
Shall still be blue.
Love me, and though the winter
snow shall pile,
And leave me chill,
Thy passion's warmth shall make
for me, meanwhile,
A sun-kissed hill.
And when the days have length-
ened into years,
And I grow old,
Oh, spite of pains and griefs and
cares and fears,
Grow thou not cold.
Then hand and hand we shall pass
up the hill,
I say not down;
That twain go up, of love, who've
loved their fill, -
To gain love's crown.
Love me, and let my life take up
thine own,
As sun the dew.
Come, sit, my queen, for in my
heart a throne
Awaits for you!
by Paul Laurence Dunbar(1872-1906)
