Take my heart
Upon the walls of thine heart I touch
with the living petals of mine olive
that its oily stars upon thee shine much
that its saintly fruits, glory to you arrive!
Here is the olive branch
I plucked it off mine heart
here is my olive branch
accept it right in thy heart!
till thy heart and plant it -
watch it, water it; weed it,
nip it, nest it; nurse it;
most of all harvest it
and let it be mine,
and I will be thine!
