<br />

"With
all
my
heart,"
said
the
young
man,
and
without
waiting
for
more
pressing
he
<br />

seated
himself
on
the
trunk
of
a
felled
oak,
and
tuning
his
rebeck,
presently
began
to
<br />

sing
to
these
words.

ANTONIO'S
BALLAD
<br />


<br />






I
know
well
that
thou
does
love
me,

<br />

My
O<strong>la</strong>l<strong>la</strong>,
even
though
<br />

Eyes
of
thine
have
never
spoken
–

<br />

Love’s
mute
tongues
–
to
tell
me
so.
<br />






Since
I
know
thou
knowest
my
passion,

<br />

Of
thy
love
I
am
more
sure;

<br />

No
love
every
was
unhappy
<br />

When

it
was
both
frank
and
pure.


<br />






True
it
is,
O<strong>la</strong>l<strong>la</strong>,
sometimes
<br />

Thou
a
heart
of
bronze
hast
shown,
<br />

And
it
seemed
to
me
that
bosom,

<br />

White
and
fair,
was
ma<strong>de</strong>
of
stone.
<br />






Yet
in
spite
of
all
repulses
<br />

And
a
chastity
so
cold,

<br />

It
appeared
that
I
Hope’s
garment

<br />

By
the
hem
did
clutch
and
hold.
<br />






For
my
faith
I
ever
cherished;

<br />

It
would
rise
to
meet
the
bait;

<br />

Spurned,
it
never
did
diminish;

<br />

Favored,
it
preferred
to
wait.

<br />






Love,
they
say,
hath
gentle
manners:
<br />

Thus
it
is
it
shows
its
face;
<br />
