Poems (Mary Coleridge)/Poem 2

​
II LARGHETTO
Grant me but a day, love, But a day,Ere I give my heart, My heart away,Ere I say the word I'll ne'er unsay.
Is it earnest with me? Is it play?Did the world in arms Cry to me, " Stay!"Not a moment then Would I delay.
​
Yet, for very love, I say thee nay.Ere I give my heart, My heart away,Grant me but a day, love, But a day!
