If You But Knew

If you but knew How all my days seem filled with dreams of you, How sometimes in the silent night Your eyes thrill through me with their tender light, How oft I hear your voice when others speak, How you 'mid other forms I seek- Oh, love more real than though such dreams were true If you but knew. Could You but guess How you alone make all my happiness, How I am more than willing for your sake, To stand alone, give all and nothing take Nor chafe to think you bound while I am free, Quite free, till death, to love you silently, Could you but guess. Could you but learn How when you doubt my truth I sadly yearn To tell you all, to stand for one brief space Unfettered, soul to soul, as face to face To crown you king, my king, till life shall end, My lover and likewise my truest friend, Would you love me, dearest, as fondly in return, Could you but learn?
