Sayings

I want to do so many things with you
Only a few of which I can say here;
Some of them would distress you, if you knew,
Because they flow from an excess of care;
Others would seem too obvious to state
And therefore do not properly need to be said.
Both of these are set aside to wait.
It is by other thoughts that I am led
Herein to praise you: thoughts I can express,
Such as my wish to hold you tight and sing
About your wild, silly loveliness
Or to endeavour almost anything
To make you smile at me. Such things and more
I want to do to you; and will, therefore.
