could be too heavy to bear when it's
recompense is your love, wholly mine
There is nothing in my love for you
that chains my soul to earth. Purity

owe; because I am just tall enough for
my head to reach your heart when you
hold me in your arms, and because
there is just room enough on your
honest loving breast for me and me
alone.
