O LOVE! I watch for thee Through all the dreary days, As one who, lost at sea, Looks for the sail that saves. O Love! I long for thee Through all the weary nights, As one who knows that dawn Will bring him dear delights. O Love! I dream of thee, God knows the dreams I dare, Bring thou thy ecstasy, If not — thy white despair. But come, dear Love, I pray, Hear thou my spirit's cry: I could not bear to live If love should pass me by. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...FRAGMENTS INTENDED FOR DEATH'S JEST-BOOK: A SUBTERRANEAN CITY by THOMAS LOVELL BEDDOES BOSTON HYMN; READ IN MUSIC HALL, JANUARY 1, 1863 by RALPH WALDO EMERSON RIDDLE ON THE LETTER H (1) by CATHERINE MARIA FANSHAWE THE SONG OF FIONNUALA by THOMAS MOORE TAKE YOUR CHOICE: AND BLISS CARMAN by BERTON BRALEY INSIDE THE COACH by SAMUEL TAYLOR COLERIDGE THE CATHEDRAL TOMBS by DINAH MARIA MULOCK CRAIK THE BLACK RIDERS: 57 by STEPHEN CRANE A HEARTH SONG (TO THE OTHER ARMCHAIR) by HARRY TENNYSON DOMER |
