TO LOVE by WALTER SAVAGE LANDOR

Poet Analysis

First Line: WHERE IS MY HEART, PERFIDIOUS BOY?
Last Line: "GO, GO; THY HEART IS THINE NO MORE."

Where is my heart, perfidious boy?
Give it, ah give it back again!
I ask no more for hours of joy,
Left but thy arm, and burst my chain.

"Fond man the heart we rashly gave
She prizes not but won't restore;
She passes on from slave to slave --
Go, go; thy heart is thine no more."
