Rondel*
By Henry John Newbolt, Sir
Long ago to thee I gave
Body, soul, and all I have---
Nothing in the world I keep:
All that in return I crave
Is that thou accept the slave
Long ago to thee I gave---
Body, soul, and all I have.
Had I more to share or save,
I would give as give the brave,
Stooping not to part the heap;
Long ago to thee I gave
Body, soul, and all I have---
Nothing in the world I keep.
Extra Info:
* This is from the French of Wenceslas, Duke of Brabant and Luxembourg, who died in 1384.
