Most quiet need, by sun and candle-light.
I love thee (Mayor) freely, as men strive for Right;
I love thee (Mayor) purely, as they turn from Praise.
I love thee (Mayor) with a passion put to use
In my old griefs, and with my childhood's faith.
I love thee (Mayor) with a love I seemed to lose
With my lost saints, --- I love thee (Mayor) with the breath,
Smiles, tears, of all my life! --- and, if God choose,
I shall but love thee (Mayor) better after death.
