Rhyme Scheme: ABBABAAB CDDCECFE GHHGHIIH JKKJKJJK| Love me a little love me as thou wilt | A |
| Whether a draught it be of passionate wine | B |
| Poured with both hands divine | B |
| Or just a cup of water spilt | A |
| On dying lips and mine | B |
| Give me the love thou wilt | A |
| The purity the guilt | A |
| So it be thine | B |

| Love me a little Let it be thy cheek | C |
| With its red signals That were dear to kiss | D |

| A finger tip my own to seek | C |
| At nightfall when none guess | E |
| Eyes have the wit to speak | C |
| And sighs send messages | F |
| Even give less | E |
| - | |
| Love me a little Let it be in words | G |
| Of happy omen heralding thy choice | H |
| Or in a veiled sad voice | H |
| Of warning like a frightened bird's | G |
| How should I not rejoice | H |
| Though swords be crossed with swords | I |
| And discord mar love's chords | I |
| And tears thy voice | H |
| - | |
| Love me a little All my world thou art | J |
| Thy much were Heaven thy little Earth shall be | K |
| If not Eternity | K |
| Then Time be mine the human part | J |
| A single hour with thee | K |
| Love as thou wilt and art | J |
| With all or half a heart | J |
| So thou love me | K |
