If thou must love me, let it be for nought 
Except for love's sake only. Do not say 
`I love her for her smile ... her look ... her way 
Of speaking gently, ... for a trick of thought 
That falls in well with mine, and certes brought  [certes: certainly] 
A sense of pleasant ease on such a day' -- 
For these things in themselves, Belov\`ed, may 
Be changed, or change for thee, -- and love, so wrought  [wrought: worked] 
May be unwrought so. Neither love me for 
Thine own dear pity's wiping my cheeks dry, -- 
A creature might forget to weep, who bore 
Thy comfort long, and lose thy love thereby! 
But love for love's sake, that evermore 
Thou may'st love on, through love's eternity.
