A
Art thou not dear unto my heart?
Ah! search that heart and see;
And from its bosom tear the part
That beats not true to thee.
But to that bosom thou art dear,
More dear than words can tell :
And, if a fault be cherish'd there.
'Tis loving thee—too well!

More dear than words can tell :
And, if a fault be cherish'd there.
'Tis loving thee—too well!
