If Ever Two Were
One
Ann Bradstreet
If ever two were one, then
surely we.
If ever man were lov'd by
wife, then thee;
If ever wife was happy in
a man,
Compare with me ye women
you can
I prize thy love more than
whole mines of Gold.
Or all the riches that the
East doth hold.
My love is such that
rivers cannot quench,
Nor ought but love from
thee, give recompense.
Thy love is such I can no
way repay,
The heavens reward thee
manifold repay,
Then while we live, in
love let's so persevere
That when we live no more,
we may live ever.
