Every 10th word

Love me at last, or if you will not,
       Leave me;
Hard words could never, as these half-words,
       Grieve me:
Love me at last—or leave me.

Love at last, or let the last word uttered
        but your own;
Love me, or leave me—as a cloud, a vapor,
       Or a bird flown.
Love me last—I am but sliding water
       Over a stone.
