A Love-Letter

Title:     A Love-Letter
Author: Richard Le Gallienne [More Titles by Le Gallienne]

Darling little woman, just a little line,
Just a little silver word
For that dear gold of thine,
Only a whisper you have so often heard:

Only such a whisper as hidden in a shell
Holds a little breath of all the mighty sea,
But think what a little of all its depth and swell,
And think what a little is this little note of me.

'Darling, I love thee, that is all I live for'--
There is the whisper stealing from the shell,
But here is the ocean, O so deep and boundless,
And each little wave with its whisper as well.

[The end]
Richard Le Gallienne's poem: Love-Letter
