I have a friend; I have a story; I have a life that's hard to live; I love; my love is all my glory I have been hurt and I forgive. I have a friend; none could be better; I stake my heart upon my friend! I love; I trust her to the letter; Will she deceive me in the end? She is my love, my life, my jewel; My hope, my star, my dear delight. God! but the ways of God are cruel,''" That love should bow the knee to spite! She loves, she hates,''"a foul alliance! One King shall rule in one estate. I only love; 'tis all my science; A while, and she will only hate. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE SHEPHEARDES CALENDER: MARCH by EDMUND SPENSER WE ARE SEVEN by WILLIAM WORDSWORTH FRIAR JEROME'S BEAUTIFUL BOOK; A.D. 1200 by THOMAS BAILEY ALDRICH THE COMMON A-TOOK IN by WILLIAM BARNES VERSES TO THE MEMORY OF SARAH CANDLER by BERNARD BARTON COMMENDATORY VERSES TO MASSINGER'S PLAY, 'THE BONDMAN' by WILLIAM BASSE |
