Love, if for nothing else, grant me this grace,
See how I ask it on this faithful knee,
O show me the pray’r-arches of thy brows
That I may raise my hand, as in God’s house,
And clasp the neck of thee.

Love, if for nothing else, grant me this grace,
See how I ask it on this faithful knee,
That just a little moment we may meet,
So I may look once more upon thy face
And break my heart in tears upon thy feet,
Big tears for me and thee!
