When thou shalt be of all thy youth depriv'd, And shalt with age's wrinkled rowes be clad; When thou shalt sit and think how much I striv'd Thy love to gain, and what reward I had; When thy deceitful promises shall call Thee to the bar, and there arraign thy thoughts; When thou with heavy eyes shalt summon all The harms which thy unkindness in me wrought; When thou shalt hear of my distracted mind, Thou wilt repent thee that thou wast unkind. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...VERSES FROM THE GRANDE CHARTREUSE by MATTHEW ARNOLD THE DREAM by GEORGE GORDON BYRON EPITAPH ON A HARE by WILLIAM COWPER LAY OF THE TRILOBITE by MAY EMMA GOLDWORTH KENDALL SUMMER'S LAST WILL AND TESTAMENT: A LITANY IN TIME OF PLAGUE by THOMAS NASHE HOMAGE TO SEXTUS PROPERTIUS: 6 by EZRA POUND |
