Love, if I weep it will not matter, And if you laugh I shall not care; Fooor, and somewhere, somewhere, There was a shutter loose, -- it screeched! Swung in the wind, -- and no wind blowing! -- I was afraid, and turned to you, Put out my hand to you for comfort, -- And you were gone! Cold, cold as dew, Under my hand the moonlight lay! Love, if you laugh I shall not care, But if I weep it will not matter, -- Ah, it is good to feel you there! | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...H.
