What have I lost in losing you? Only the savour of all things. In the same sky the same bird sings, The same clouds darken in the blue; Only, all's changed, in losing you! In losing you, I lose the care That held me fettered all my days; I see before me bright new ways That beckon me, I know not where; And yet I do not greatly care. For I have lost, in losing you, Not you alone, but my own youth, My hope in fame, my faith in truth, And all I was to be and do, And life itself, in losing you! | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE LEAVES FIRST by CARL PHILLIPS SLUG IN WOODS by EARL (EARLE) BIRNEY AUGURIES OF INNOCENCE by WILLIAM BLAKE THE SNUG LITTLE ISLAND by THOMAS FROGNALL DIBDIN SPRING, 1916 by ISAAC ROSENBERG LINES ON THE MONUMENT OF GIUSEPPE MAZZINI by ALGERNON CHARLES SWINBURNE |
