Poems By The Way & Love Is Enough

by William Morris

"O hearken, maiden Else,

And let thy true-love in!"

Then answered maiden Else,

"Never open I my door,

But and if thou namest Jesu's name

As thou hadst might before."

"O hearken, maiden Else,

And open thou thy door,

For Jesu's name I well may name

As I had might before!"
