WHAT WOULD YOU DO?

WHAT would you do?

If you loved me,

As I love you.

If you in absence sad,

Longed for a moment’s joy—

My voice to make you glad—

Would you the time employ

In going to your lad?

And whisper: “Mine alone,

Yes, I am thine, my own;

In all this busy world—we two—

You live for me, and I for you.”

What would you do?

If you loved me,

As I love you.

If you were far away,

And hungered for a word,

Just one—to brighten day;

Some message for a bird

To carry, would you say?

“My lover, mine alone,

Yes, I am thine, my own;

In all this busy world—just two—

You live for me, and I for you.”
