7I will not let thee go.Ends all our month-long love in this?Can it be summed up so,Quit in a single kiss?I will not let thee go.I will not let thee go.If thy words’ breath could scare thy deeds,As the soft south can blowAnd toss the feathered seeds,Then might I let thee go.I will not let thee go.Had not the great sun seen, I might;Or were he reckoned slowTo bring the false to light,Then might I let thee go.I will not let thee go.The stars that crowd the summer skiesHave watched us so belowWith all their million eyes,I dare not let thee go.I will not let thee go.Have we not chid the changeful moon,Now rising late, and nowBecause she set too soon,And shall I let thee go?I will not let thee go.Have not the young flowers been content,Plucked ere their buds could blow,To seal our sacrament?I cannot let thee go.I will not let thee go.I hold thee by too many bands:Thou sayest farewell, and lo!I have thee by the hands,And will not let thee go.
