AH, had I thee but sooner seen, Though e'en for one brief hour, That happy moment would I bless While dying lips had pow'r! Ah, had I thee but sooner loved, Thou pure light of my soul! I'd envy not the fate of those Whom angel hosts enroll. Ah, had I thee but sooner loved, Although in dreamland free, My hope's fair blossoms would not hang All withered on Life's tree! | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...ORPHEUS AND EURYDICE: THE POWER OF MUSIC by SAMUEL LISLE PANORAMA by WILLIAM ROSE BENET A VALENTINE FOR HARRY CROSBY by KAY BOYLE HATCHET by WILLIAM THOMAS CALLAWAY JR.
