(I Prithee) Do Not Ask for Love

And is it so, once more, thou art returning?

Hast thou lost thy way as once before?

I warned thee more than many times, thus would it be

I shall not be thy refuge once more

Thou makest me free

Then soon thou makest demands on me

And I am not thy love

Thou workest in me slavery

But I shan't heed thee as before

I prithee, do not ask for love once more

So go thy way, and soon I shall go likewise

And if thy path be high, then be mine low

Behold my footsteps in the sand, but follow not

For soon they shall be covereth with snow

Thou makest me free

Then soon thou makest demands on me

And I am not thy love

Thou workest in me slavery

But I shan't heed thee as before

I prithee, do not ask for love once more

I prithee, do not ask for love once more
