Alma Strettell - Odelette Lyrics

Had I but known the way of my love
Seen in what paths my life must move
Guessed what my thought
Held unrevealed
My life had ne’re been linked to thine
To these thy thoughts
To these thy ways
I ne’er had will’d with thine to blend
Such love as mine

Shall we, then, give our beloved
Flowers set with thorns sharpened to tear?
Wantonly show streams that are bitter
To them that thirst?
Shall we for spinning give to gentle hands
Fashioned for the weaving of joy
The rugged hemp, the wool uncleansed
Fitter for toilers?

Yet behold, on the path thou standest before me
Where in my life the crossways meet
The brook is at thy feet; here droops a rose
Her stem is danger-laden! Yet hast thou culled it!
Doth then the distaff borne by Fate
Be heavy with the burden of life’s uncertain thread
Yet canst thou smile thus enthroned
Thus alone enthroned in my heart
Thy hand clasping fearlessly mine?
Yet canst thou smile
Thus alone enthroned within my heart!

Had I but known the way of my love
I ne’er had linked my love to thine
Nor, too, my days to my thoughts
Had I but seen, seen my path
Had I known, known my love
