I HAD Sweet company Because I sought out none, But took who came to me, All by the magnet drawn. I had sweet company. I had no dark friends but one. They passed on and away, The old lure had gone. The partings all were gay. By some new magic drawn They went another way. I had no heartache but one. Because that in my heart There lurked satyr or faun, There was one could not depart And one who must be gone. While the faun crouched in the heart There was one who must be gone. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...PRAYER AFTER YOUTH by MAXWELL ANDERSON A NEW PILGRIMAGE: 34 by WILFRID SCAWEN BLUNT THE DREAMING MAN by ANNA HEMPSTEAD BRANCH TWO SEASONS by CLARENCE BLENDON BURLEIGH IN ARCADIE by JOSEPHINE AUGUSTA CASS SONNET: OF ALL HE WOULD DO by CECCO ANGIOLIERI DA SIENA BRIDGES OF DREAMS by WILL CHAMBERLAIN THE CANTERBURY TALES: THE REEVE'S PROLOGUE by GEOFFREY CHAUCER AT EVENTIDE; C.
