by Marie van Vorst (1867 - 1936)
Though all betray
Language: English
Dearest, give your love to me, I will keep it well, Cradle it, as doth the sea Hold the shell, Deep, unseen and secretly. Dearest, give to me your trust, I will not betray, Hold it, as the beacon must Hold the ray, Till the lighthouse stones are dust.
