Poet Analysis

First Line: LOVE LOOKED BACK AS HE TOOK HIS FLIGHT
Last Line: AND LO, HIS EYES WERE FILLED WITH TEARS.

Love looked back as he took his flight,
And lo, his eyes were filled with tears.
Was it for love of lost delight
Love looked back as he took his flight?
Only I know while day grew night,
Turning still to the vanished years,
Love looked back as he took his flight,
And lo, his eyes were filled with tears.
