There are other, deeper, spells
In the lone and mystic wells —
Spells of strange wild augury
Few have had the heart to try.”

True love! thou hast equal none;
True love! who could choose for thee
Gold or gems or vanity?
Where is the spell whose charm will prove,
Like the spell of thy charm, true love?”
