Poems (Waldenburg)/Hungarian Song
HUNGARIAN SONG.
Thou art the tree and I the vine,Thou standest firm not needing me;But I, oh, darling, shrink and pineProne to the earth unheld by thee!
If o'er thy life I dare to twine,With clinging arms to clasp thee try,Thou yet must hold and call me thine,Thou art the tree, the vine am I.
