SURRENDER.

Doubt me, my dim companion!

Why, God would be content With but a fraction of the love Poured thee without a stint.

The whole of me, forever, What more the woman can, --Say quick, that I may dower thee With last delight I own!

It cannot be my spirit, For that was thine before;I ceded all of dust I knew,-- What opulence the more Had I, a humble maiden, Whose farthest of degree Was that she might, Some distant heaven, Dwell timidly with thee!
