I HAVE LOVED YOU MORE<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

I had thought,<\/strong> when our love was birthed, that I was lost<\/p>\n

In the depths of your eyes, in the fullness of heart.<\/em><\/p>\n

But I have loved you more<\/strong> than youth, yet untried,<\/em><\/p>\n

Can offer. That first joy was a sweet prelude<\/em><\/p>\n

To the lessons<\/strong> of God; for no matter how dear<\/p>\n

The gift that you are to me, I must be emptied<\/em><\/p>\n

Of myself to love you best<\/strong> – and still cannot exhaust<\/p>\n

The limit of Heaven’s hand to bless this art<\/em><\/p>\n

Of marriage.<\/em> To God’s perfect way I have replied<\/p>\n

And you have met me there;<\/strong> I confess that I could<\/p>\n

Not be myself without you. This I beg you – hear!<\/em><\/p>\n

I will love you more<\/strong> as with this life we proceed.<\/p>\n
