THE BELOVED, by                     Poet's Biography
First Line: Love only comes to me when thou art gone
Last Line: If love so great will not keep us for ever asunder.
Alternate Author Name(s): Field, Michael (with Edith Emma Cooper)
Subject(s): Love


LOVE only comes to me when thou art gone:
Then he draws to me in his might,
Sundering with his infinite
Power, as a far, wide space,
Till I cannot see thy face;
And I wonder
If Love so great will not keep us for ever asunder.
