SONG

Thomas Lovell Beddoes

Read by Roma Liza Romero

How many times do I love thee, dear?

Tell me how many thoughts there be

In the atmosphere of a new-fall’n year,

Whose white and sable hours appear

The latest flake of Eternity –

So many times do I love thee, dear.

How many times do I love thee again?

Tell me how many beads there are

In a silver chain

Of evening rain,

Unraveled from the tumbling main,

And threatening the eye of a yellow star –

So many times do I love thee again.
