If you only knewA
How gladly I've given itB
All these yearsC
The light of mine eyesD
The heat of my lipsE
Mine agoniesF
My yearning tearsG
My blood that dripsE
My brain that searsC
If you only knewA
How gladly I've given itB
All these yearsC
My hope and my youthH
My manhood my ArtI
My passion my truthH
My mind and my heartI
-
O my brother you would not sayJ
What have you to do with meK
You would not would not turn awayJ
Doubtingly and bitterlyK
-
If you only knewA
How little I cared forL
These other thingsM
The delicate speechN
The high demandO
Of each from eachN
The imaginingsM
Of Love's Holy LandO
If you only knewA
How little I cared forL
These other thingsM
The wide clear viewA
Over peoples and timesM
The search in the newA
Entrancing climesM
Science's wingsM
And Art's sweet chimesM
-
O my brother if you only knewA
What to me in these things is understoodP
As it seems to me it would seem to youA
What was good for the Cause was surely goodP
-
O my brother you would not sayM
What have you to do with meK
You would not would not turn awayM
Doubtingly and bitterlyK
-
But you would take my hand with your handO
O my brother if you only knewA
You would smile at me you would understandO
You would call me brother as I call youA
