I long to know what I have to keep,  I long to seeMy love, that spinning coin, laid still  And plain at the side of me,For me to count—for I know he will  Greatly enrichen me.
And then he will be mine, he will lie  In my power utterly,Opening his value plain to my eye  He will sleep of me.He will lie negligent, resign  His all to me, and IShall watch the dawn light up for me  This sleeping wealth of mine.
And I shall watch the wan light shine  On his sleep that is filled of me,On his brow where the wisps of fond hair twine  So truthfully,On his lips where the light breaths come and go  Naïve and winsomely,On his limbs that I shall weep to know  Lie under my mastery.
