What care I for these things

Beloved, what care I for these things,

These gardens and palaces for kings!

'Tis true it were a rare and pleasant dream,

For Thou to share with me a life supreme.

Would that in a humble little hut,

Thou wert with me singing Thy gamut,

And I to wash Thy feet in acquiesce,

'Stead of a palace in my lonliness.
