If They Honoured Me, Giving Me Their Gifts

They bring me gifts, they honour me,
Now I am growing old;
And wondering youth crowds round my knee,
As if I had a mystery
And worship to unfold.

To me the tender, blushing bride
Doth come with lips that fail;
I feel her heart beat at my side
And cry: " Like Ares in his pride,
Hail, noble bridegroom, hail!"
