LET us forget. What matters it that we Once reigned o'er happy realms of long ago, And talked of love, and let our voices low, And ruled for some brief sessions royally? What if we sung, or laughed, or wept maybe? It has availed not anything, and so Let it go by that we may better know How poor a thing is lost to you and me. But yesterday I kissed your lips, and yet Did thrill you not enough to shake the dew From your drenched lids -- and missed, with no regret, Your kiss shot back, with sharp breaths failing you: And so, to-day, while our worn eyes are wet With all this waste of tears, let us forget! | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE BELLS OF SAN BLAS by HENRY WADSWORTH LONGFELLOW ARE THE CHILDREN AT HOME? by MARGARET ELIZABETH MUNSON SANGSTER TO - (3) by PERCY BYSSHE SHELLEY EMBLEMS OF LOVE: 43.
