WHY dost thou say thy heart is gone, And no more mine, no more thine own? But, past retrieve, for ever wed, By sacred vow, t' another's bed? Why dost thou tell me that I lie Bound in the same perplexed tie, And that our now divided souls Are cold, and distant as the poles? Do'st thou not know, when first our Loves Were plighted in the secret groves, Our hearts were chang'd with equal flame, Say, Chloris, then how can it be? Could'st thou give me, or I give thee? No, no, ourselves are still the same. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE CHILDREN OF THE NIGHT by EDWIN ARLINGTON ROBINSON CLASS SONG (WHICH WILL BE SUNG ON THE 22ND OF FEBRUARY) by GEORGE SANTAYANA RELIGION by PAUL LAURENCE DUNBAR THE DRUM by JOHN SCOTT (1730-1783) IMAGES: 6 by RICHARD ALDINGTON NELL COOK; A LEGEND OF THE 'DARK ENTRY': THE KING'S SCHOLAR'S STORY by RICHARD HARRIS BARHAM SAD MADRIGAL, SELECTION by CHARLES BAUDELAIRE |
