SINCE my darling one has left me, Power of laughing is bereft me; Blockheads fain would raise a joke, But no laughter can provoke. Since I've lost my darling one, Power of weeping, too, is gone; Though my heart with sorrow deep Wellnigh breaks, I cannot weep. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE KNIGHTS: THE POET AND HIS RIVALS by ARISTOPHANES THE WOLD WALL by WILLIAM BARNES ECCLESIASTES by MORRIS GILBERT BISHOP THE SURPRISE by GAMALIEL BRADFORD THE BEGGAR AND THE DIVINE by JOHN BYROM A MOTHER'S WEALTH by WILLIAM C.
