Rondel

Long ago to thee I gave
Body, soul, and all I have—-
  Nothing in the world I keep:

All that in return I crave
Is that thou accept the slave
Long ago to thee I gave—-
Body, soul, and all I have.

Had I more to share or save,
I would give as give the brave,
  Stooping not to part the heap;
Long ago to thee I gave
Body, soul, and all I have—-
  Nothing in the world I keep.
