So Great Is Love

Were I chained to this spot

     And thou across the sea,

And thou should sayest, “Come”,

     I’d swim to thee.

Wert thou below the earth,

     I on some lofty place,

I’d dig and dig until

     I saw thy face.

Were I in worlds below

     And thou in realms above,

I’d fly, somehow, I know,

     To gin thy love.
