<h2> LOVE’S USURY </h2>
<p>Here count I over all the gentle deeds<br/>
Which thou hast done; here summon I thy words,<br/>
Sweeter to me than sweetest song of birds;<br/>
That came like grace immortal to my needs.<br/>
<br/>
Love’s usury has reckoned such a sum<br/>
Of my indebtedness, that I can make<br/>
No lien large enough to overtake<br/>
Its value—and before it I am dumb!<br/>
<br/>
Yet, O my gracious, most kind creditor,<br/>
I would not owe to thee one item less<br/>
We cannot give the sun requital for<br/>
<br/>
Its liberal light; our office is to bless.<br/>
If blessings could be compassed by my prayer,<br/>
High heaven should set star-gems in thy hair.<br/></p>
