SUPPOSE you should forget, After our love and tears, To wait for me in that shining place That lies behind the years! Suppose I should forget, After my lips are dumb, To go to you, O heart of my heart -- Suppose I should not come! Never yet was a soul, The past remembering, But who, one moment in the dark, Doubted the coming Spring. And never yet was one Who on this earth has trod, But for one instant told his heart He doubted even God! Wherefore then blame me, Love, That, mortal that I be, I stand one moment, lost, dismayed -- Then face eternity? | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE RACING CARS by WILLIAM ROSE BENET GREEN LEAVES AND SERE by MATHILDE BLIND ON THE DEATH OF AN INFANT OF FIVE DAYS OLD by ELIZABETH BOYD THE OL' COW HAWSE by EARL ALONZO BRININSTOOL MATTERHORN QUESTS by RICHARD EUGENE BURTON TOWARDS DEMOCRACY: PART 4.
