We have walked in Love's land a little way, We have learnt his lesson a little while, And shall we not part at the end of the day, With a sigh, a smile? A little while in the shine of the sun, We were twined together, joined lips, forgot How the shadows fall when the day is done, And when Love is not. We have made no vows - there will none be broke, Our love was free as the wind on the hill, There was no word said we need wish unspoke, We have wrought no ill. So shall we not part at the end of the day, Who have loved and lingered a little while, Join lips for the last time, go our way, With a sigh, a smile? | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE LAND OF HEART'S DESIRE by WILLIAM BUTLER YEATS ODE ON A DISTANT PROSPECT OF CLAPHAM ACADEMY by THOMAS HOOD TO A LOCOMOTIVE IN WINTER by WALT WHITMAN FRIENDS by WILLIAM BUTLER YEATS TO THE RETURNED GIRLS by FRANKLIN PIERCE ADAMS LOVE'S CALENDAR by THOMAS BAILEY ALDRICH SONNET TO A FRIEND, ON HIS SECOND MARRIAGE by BERNARD BARTON |
