It is not for your eagle eye,
Though bright its glance may be—
It is not for your sunny smile,
That, Ulric, I love thee.
It is not for your marble brow,
Nor for your raven hair;
It is not that you ride the ring,
And wear thy colours there.
It is not for your gifts of gold,
Not for your lute's sweet chords;
It is not for your lordly birth,
Nor for your honied words:—
But it is that I deem your heart
Is given quite to me:
You love me, and can I do less,
Dear Ulric, than love thee?
