"Divided Allegiance" (Rudyard Kipling)

My Love is beautiful as day -- 
   My Love is very fair:
The gold gleam of the sunset ray
   Has nestled in Her hair.
the gold that in the Sun is set
Is all the gold that She will get;
I love her well. But yet...... but yet......

   Before He came to me.
All things that 'neath the Sun are set
I know my round Rupee can get;
I love Him well. But yet...... but yet......
