正文 VIII

VIII

What I give thee back, O liberal

And princely giver, who hast brought the gold

And purple of thi, unstained, untold,

And laid them oside of the-wall

For such as I to take or leave withal,

In ued largesse ? am I cold,

Ungrateful, that for these most manifold

High gifts, I render nothing back at all ?

Not so; not cold,--but very poor instead.

Ask God who knows. For frequent tears have run

The colors from my life, a so dead

And pale a stuff, it were not fitly done

To give the same as pillow to thy head.

Go farther ! let it serve to trample on.

Elizabeth Barrett Browning
