With the same heart, I said, I’ll answer thee + 

As those, when thou shalt call me by my name⁠— + 

Lo, the vain promise! Is the same, the same, + 

Perplexed and ruffled by life’s strategy? + 

When called before, I told how hastily + 

I dropped my flowers or brake off from a game. + 

To run and answer with the smile that came + 

At play last moment, and went on with me + 

Through my obedience. When I answer now, + 

I drop a grave thought⁠—break from solitude;⁠— + 

Yet still my heart goes to thee⁠—ponder how⁠— + 

Not as to a single good, but all my good! + 

Lay thy hand on it, best one, and allow + 

That no child’s foot could run fast as this blood. + 
