I will bring you big things:
Colors of dawn-morning,
Beauty of rose leaves,
And a flaming love.
But you say
Those are not big things,
That only money counts.
Well,
Then I will bring you money.
But do not ask me
For the beauty of rose leaves,
Nor the colors of dawn-morning,
Nor a flaming love.
Comment:
I think the lover is saying here that my love is priceless and I am willing to give it to you. However, you choose material things and I can give those things, too.
But don’t ever ask for the best of me.
I guess there would be some who would consider this a bargain.
QUESTION(S):
Do you think “relational bargains” really occur?
