Benedick's Song

    By Henry John Newbolt, Sir



        Though I see within thine eyes
        Sudden frown of cloudy skies,
        Yet I bid them "merry morn"
        For they tell me Love is born.
            So ha-há! with há-ha-há!
            For they tell me Love is born.

        Storms of mocking from thy lips
        Lash me still like airy whips;
        But to-day thy scorn I scorn
        For I know that Love is born.
            So ha-há! with há-ha-há!
            For I know that Love is born.

        O the hail that rattles fierce
        Through my hodden cloak to pierce!
        What care I if rags be torn?
        Love and I are beggars born!
            So ha-há! with há-ha-há!
            Love and I are beggars born.
