To Love Poem by Henry Kirke White
To Love
Why should I blush to own I love?
'Tis Love that rules the realms above.
Why should I blush to say to all,
That Virtue holds my heart in thrall?
Why should I seek the thickest shade,
Lest Love's dear secret be betray'd?
Why the stern brow deceitful move,
When I am languishing with love?
Is it weakness thus to dwell
On passion that I dare not tell?
Such weakness I would ever prove;
'Tis painful, though 'tis sweet to love.

This was a poem written by my great-grandfather to his wife and found in the family bible. But can anyone tell me if there are any more verses, because in the one I have there are SIX verses in all; I would love to know the answer! Also is it known in what year this particular poem was written?
