Subject(s): Courtship; Love - Beginnings


IHAVE loved thee, Elsinore,
Since the yellow crocus budded,
Since the world with light was flooded,
In the green of springtime hooded, --
Three long years ago, and more,
I have loved thee, Elsinore.

I shall love thee, Elsinore;
While the moaning billows tumble,
While the distant thunders rumble,
I shall be thy lover humble;
I shall love thee and adore,
I shall love thee, Elsinore.

Smile upon me, Elsinore;
Say not that thou canst not love me,
Place not others' charms above me,
Let the proof of union prove me, --
None can love as I adore;
Smile upon me, Elsinore.
