Remember
I must strive at every moment
to do as I would have her do.
And remember to think
what I would think
if it were all reversed.
For only if I can
love her acts as my own,
will I learn to love
for love alone,
will I be patient
when she would not see me.
For only by her freedom, freed
will she choose to love me
just for her need.
