Controlled enthusiasm
Can you imagine how much I love you?
Each time I see you my heart wishes to burst out in song
like in some old time funny childish romantic musical,
and there is nothing really that can stop me -
all that music of my love just gushes forth
in overwhelming floods of heartfelt heartiness
like some deluvion of unprecedented generosity;
and still, my life is so sincere and careful
that I always can contain myself
refraining from at any cost to hurt you
or approach you too unseemingly and importuningly.
But, love, you can be sure, it is all there
and growing constantly in splendour and abundance
as is unavoidable in such a long engagement
growing more sincere and beautiful the longer it goes on.
