Chapter 154
Love's Omnipresence by J. Sylvester Read for LibriVox.org by Stepheather Were I as base as is the lowly plain, And you, my love, as high as heaven above, Yet should the thoughts of me, your humble swain, Ascend to heaven in honor of my love? Were I as high as heaven above the plain, And you, my love, as humble and as low,
as are the deepest bottoms of the main. Whereso'er you were, with you my love should go. Were you the earth, dear love, and I the skies? My love should shine on you like to the sun, and look upon you with ten thousand eyes
till heaven waxed blind and till the world were done. Whereso'er I am, below or else above you, whereso'er you are, my heart shall truly love you. End of poem. This recording is in the public domain.
Thank you.
