719. You’ll love Me yet

YOU’LL love me yet!—and I can tarry
Your love’s protracted growing:
June rear’d that bunch of flowers you carry,
From seeds of April’s sowing.

I plant a heartful now: some seed	5
At least is sure to strike,
And yield—what you’ll not pluck indeed,
Not love, but, may be, like.

You’ll look at least on love’s remains,
A grave ‘s one violet:	10
Your look?—that pays a thousand pains.
What ‘s death? You’ll love me yet!
