[Koina ta ton philon]John Addington Symonds (18401893)
G
Unto thyself thou givest:
On barren soil thou canst not cast,
For by his life thou livest.
That I should still be giving
Through him unto myself, when he
Is love within me living.
Nor let him guess the giver;
Like dews that drop on hills unknown,
To feed a lordly river.
