XIV. Father, I bring thee not myself

FATHER, I bring thee not myself, --
        That were the little load;
I bring thee the imperial heart
        I had not strength to hold.

The heart I cherished in my own
        Till mine too heavy grew,
Yet strangest, heavier since it went,
        Is it too large for you?
