He had laid bare his heart in those letters , writing out what he never could have told her , even if his love had been known and returned , for dead and gone generations of stern and repressed forefathers laid their unyielding fingers of reserve on his lips , and the shyness of dreamy , book-bred youth stemmed the language of eye and tone . I will love you forever and ever . And even though you know it not , surely such love will hover around you all your life . Like an invisible benediction , not understood but dimly felt , guarding you from ill and keeping far from you all things and thoughts of harm and evil ! * * * * * Sometimes I let myself dream . And in those dreams you love me , and we go out to meet life together . I have dreamed that you kissed me -- dreamed it so reverently that the dream did your womanhood no wrong . I have dreamed that you put your hands in mine and said , `` I love you . '' Oh , the rapture of it ! * * * * * We may give all we will if we do not ask for a return . There should be no barter in love . If , by reason of the greatness of my love for you , I were to ask your love in return , I should be a base creature . It is only because I am content to love and serve for the sake of loving and serving that I have the right to love you . * * * * * I have a memory of a blush of yours -- a rose of the years that will bloom forever in my garden of remembrance . Tonight you blushed when I came upon you suddenly among the flowers . You were startled -- perhaps I had broken too rudely on some girlish musing ; and straightway your round , pale curve of cheek and your white arch of brow were made rosy as with the dawn of beautiful sunrise . I shall see you forever as you looked at that time . In my mad moments I shall dream , knowing all the while that it is only a dream , that you blushed with delight at my coming . I shall be able to picture forevermore how you would look at one you loved . * * * * * Tonight the moon was low in the west .
It hung over the sea like a shallop of ruddy gold moored XXXXX a star in the harbour of the night .
