<h2> A Gift </h2>
<p>
See! I give myself to you, Beloved!<br/>
My words are little jars<br/>
For you to take and put upon a shelf.<br/>
Their shapes are quaint and beautiful,<br/>
And they have many pleasant colours and lustres<br/>
To recommend them.<br/>
Also the scent from them fills the room<br/>
With sweetness of flowers and crushed grasses.<br/>
<br/>
When I shall have given you the last one,<br/>
You will have the whole of me,<br/>
But I shall be dead.<br/></p>
