Excerpts from the ReadingWillow English Library collection.

So love wounds as we grasp it, and blackens and burns as a flame;
I have loved overmuch in my life; when the live bud bursts with the
blossom,

But these we know not ever met again:
Yet once St. Paul at distance overmuch
Just sighted Cyprus; and once more in vain

Was only for a better clime,
And, heavenly overmuch, scorn’d this.
I, rash with theories of the right,

To Love whose only Friendship is Reproof,
And overmuch of Counsel—whereby Love
Grows stubborn, and increases the Disease.

But through his blunt and lashless eyes?
Alive, he is not vital overmuch;
Dying, not mortal overmuch;

But through his blunt and lashless eyes?
Alive, he is not vital overmuch;
Dying, not mortal overmuch;
