| 359. Love’s Mendicant |
| By Susan Mitchell |
| WHAT do I want of thee? | |
| No gift of smile or tear | |
| Nor casual company, | |
| But in still speech to me | |
| Only thy heart to hear. | 5 |
| Others contentedly | |
| Go lonely here and there; | |
| I cannot pass thee by, | |
| Love’s Mendicant am I | |
| Who meet thee everywhere. | 10 |
| No merchandise I make; | |
| Thou mayst not give to me | |
| The counterfeits they take. | |
| I claim Him for Love’s sake, | |
| The Hidden One in thee. | 15 |
