be of love (a little) more careful
than of everything
guard her perhaps only
a trifle less (merely beyond how very)
closely than nothing
remember love by frequent
anguish (imagine
her least never with most
memory)
give entirely each
forever its freedom

guard her perhaps only
a trifle less (merely beyond how very)

(dare until a flower,
understanding ceaselessly sunlight
open what thousandth why and
discover laughing)
