All that I had I brought,
    Little enough I know;
  A poor rhyme roughly wrought,
    A rose to match thy snow:
  All that I had I brought.

Little enough I sought:
    But a word compassionate,
  A passing glance, or thought,
    For me outside the gate:
  Little enough I sought.

Little enough I found:
    All that you had, perchance!
  With the dead leaves on the ground,
    I dance the devil’s dance.
  All that you had I found.
