Have you the heart? When your head did but ache,
I knit my handkercher about your brows--
The best I had, a princess wrought it me--

And with my hand at midnight held your head,
And like the watchful minutes to the hour,
Still and anon cheered up the heavy time,
Saying, 'What lack you?' and 'Where lies your grief?'
