Love’s Captive
I hide her in my heart, my May,
And keep my darling captive there!
But not because she’d fly away
To seek for liberty elsewhere,
For love is ever free as air!
And as with me her love will stay,
I hide her in my heart, my May,
And keep my darling captive there.
Our love is love that lives for aye
Enchained in fetters strong and fair,
So evermore, by night and day,
That we our prisoned home may share,
I hide her in my heart, my May,
And keep my darling captive there.
C. H. Waring.
