My True Love Hath My Heart Lyrics - Seven Sonnets And A Song - Paul Kelly

My true-love hath my heart and I have his, 

By just exchange one for the other given: 

I hold his dear, and mine he cannot miss; 

There never was a bargain better driven. 

His heart in me keeps me and him in one; 

My heart in him his thoughts and senses guides: 

He loves my heart, for once it was his own; 

I cherish his because in me it bides. 

His heart his wound received from my sight; 

My heart was wounded with his wounded heart; 

For as from me on him his hurt did light, 

So still, methought, in me his hurt did smart: 

Both equal hurt, in this change sought our bliss, 

My true love hath my heart and I have his.
