Dante Gabriel Rossetti - The Love-Moon lyrics

'Nay, pitiful Love, nay, loving Pity! Well Thou knowest that in these twain I have confess'd Two very voices of thy summoning bell. Nay, Master, shall not d**h make manifest In these the culminant changes which approve The love-moon that must light my soul to Love?'
