First Line: To think my thoughts all hers

Alternate Author Name(s): Davies, W. H.
To think my thoughts all hers,
Not one of hers is mine;
She laughs -- while I must sigh;
She sings -- while I must whine.
She eats -- while I must fast;
She reads -- while I am blind;
She sleeps -- while I must wake;
Free -- I no freedom find.
To think the world for me
Contains but her alone,
And that her eyes prefer
Some ribbon, scarf, or stone.
