EXCHANGES

Ernest Christopher Dowson

All that I had I brought, Little enough I know; A poor rhyme roughly wrought, A rose to match thy snow:

All that I had I brought. Little enough I sought: But a word compassionate, A passing glance, or thought,

For me outside the gate: Little enough I sought. Little enough I found: All that you had, perchance!

With the dead leaves on the ground, I dance the devil's dance. All that you had I found.
