They have said evil of my dear; Therefore my heart is vexed and drear: But what is it to them If he be fair or foul to see, Since he is perfect joy to me. He loves me well: the like do I: I do not look with half an eye, But seek to pleasure him. From all the rest I choose him here; I want no other for my dear: How then should he displease Those who may leave him if they please? God keep him from all fear. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...SYNOPSIS OF A FAILED POEM by JAMES GALVIN SELF-ANALYSIS by DAVID IGNATOW DAT GAL O' MINE by JAMES WELDON JOHNSON THE BURIAL OF BOSTON CORBETT (ONE WARDEN TO ANOTHER) by EDGAR LEE MASTERS |
