Excerpt from The Chimes of Amsterdam: And Other Poems
To A. S. W.
"This is for you, because I love you so!"
What matter if a poor and worthless thing
The childish gift may be, - a broken toy,
Or wilted flowers that die in offering,
Yet for the uttered reason of the gift,
And for the love clear shining in the eyes,
You heed not that it lacketh every charm.
For love's sweet sake the worthless thing you prize.
And so these gathered thoughts I bring, beloved,
Not worth the offering, did I not know
Between the lines your heart can read the words,
"This is for you, because I love you so!"
