You ask me what—since we must part—You shall bring back to me.Bring back a pure and faithful heartAs true as mine to thee.You talk of gems from foreign lands,Of treasure, spoil, and prize.Ah love! I shall not search your handsBut look into your eyes.Juliana Horatia Ewing

You ask me what—since we must part—

You shall bring back to me.

Bring back a pure and faithful heart

As true as mine to thee.

You talk of gems from foreign lands,Of treasure, spoil, and prize.Ah love! I shall not search your handsBut look into your eyes.

You talk of gems from foreign lands,

Of treasure, spoil, and prize.

Ah love! I shall not search your hands

But look into your eyes.
