Say over again I love you
Say over again, and yet once over again, That thou dost love me.
Though the word repeated Should seem `a cuckoo-song,’ as thou dost treat it.
Remember, never to the hill or plain, Valley and wood, without her cuckoo-strain
Comes the fresh Spring in all her green completed. Beloved, I, amid the darkness
greeted By a doubtful spirit-voice, in that doubt’s pain Cry, ...
`Speak once more ... thou lovest!’ Who can fear Too many stars,
though each in heaven shall roll, -- Too many flowers,
though each shall crown the year? Say thou dost love me,
love me, love me -- toll The silver iterance! -- only minding, Dear, To love me also in silence with thy soul.
