Il testo della The clod and the pebble

"love seeketh not itself to please,
Nor for itself hath any care,
But for another gives its ease,
And builds a heaven in hell's despair."

So sung a little clod of clay
Trodden with the cattle's feet,
But a pebble of the brook
Warbled out these meters meet:

"love seeketh only self to please,
To bind another to its delight,
Joys in another's loss of ease,
And builds a hell in heaven's despite."
