Since Love cries out for money, still,
Where little is, or none —
Love me no more till I am dead,
And every penny gone.

Is there one tender thought to come,
When I have nothing more —
To show the World that Love, though small,
Can be secure and pure?

Love me no more till I am dead,
And dangers all removed;
When, though my worms can spin no silk,
I lie unblamed, and loved.
