LOVE IN THE GUISE OF FRIENDSHIP by ROBERT BURNS

Poet Analysis

First Line: YOUR FRIENDSHIP MUCH CAN MAKE ME BLEST
Last Line: THE VERY FRIEND I SOUGHT.
Subject(s): FRIENDSHIP; LOVE;
Your friendship much can make me blest,
O why that bliss destroy!
Why urge the only, one request
You know I will deny!

Your thought, if Love must harbour there,
Conceal it in that thought;
Nor cause me from my bosom tear
The very friend I sought.
