For the Love of mine Mistress

What I am trying to say here is that I love and worship Truth, like one does a lover. But this love exacts a price & it is one that I am quite willing to pay.

Stony is thine heart, O' love  
Heavy the price thou doth exact,  
And willingly dost give mine love,  
Thine obligation as a fact.  
  
How carelessly thou wound mine heart  
And yet the bond grows strong,  
A moment shan't we stay apart,  
For ne'er can thou do wrong.  
  
For a temple be thine lofty abode  
And thou it's only God,  
O' Truth, mine mistress thou be forever,  
And me thine humble paramour.
