A Poet to His Beloved + 

I bring you with reverent hands + 

The books of my numberless dreams; + 

White woman that passion has worn + 

As the tide wears the dove-grey sands, + 

And with heart more old than the horn + 

That is brimmed from the pale fire of time: + 

White woman with numberless dreams + 

I bring you my passionate rhyme. + 
