Another of the Same (A Report Song in a Dream)

Topics: classic

Say that I should say I love ye,         Would you say 'tis but a saying?     But if Love in prayers move ye,         Will ye not be moved with praying?     Think I think that Love should know ye,         Will you think 'tis but a thinking?     But if Love the thought do show ye,         Will ye loose your eyes with winking?     Write that I do write you blessed,         Will you write 'tis but a writing?     But if Truth and Love confess it,         Will ye doubt the true inditing?     No, I say, and think, and write it,         Write, and think, and say your pleasure;     Love, and truth, and I indite it,         You are blessd out of measure.
