You Ask Me How Much I Love You.docx 5r1g9

you ask me how much I love you, Ah, lovely inquisitive lips You would want to fathom the ocean And scale the infinite blue above us. Shall I count the sands on the seashore, Or pick the numberless stars of heaven Like some sweet woodland blossoms? Ask then the bold eagle of the air If you could soar the ends of the distance , Or the worm of the ground if it could crawl Down to the very core of the earth. And you ask me how much I love you Ah, lovely inquisitive lips, You would want to fathom the ocean And scale the infinite blue above us. Read !read the answer in my eyes And in the quiverless muteness of my lips... For there are things that are voiceless And would be told only in silence!
