UNREQUITED LOVE, by                    
First Line: While here beneath the sun
Last Line: Covering all.
Subject(s): Love - Unrequited


While here beneath the sun
Art thou the only one
Whom I could love?
There are at least a score
Flitting beyond my door—
Raven and dove.

Beauty and fragrance give
Heart throbs that ever live
In memory;
But unrequited love
Is not from Heav'n above—
'Tis misery.

Whilst thou dost hesitate
Should I forever wait
At a closed door?
Rosebuds become full blown,
Fade into the unknown,
And are no more.

Lovely the month of May
Passing upon its way,
Summer and fall;
When chilling wind doth blow
Then comes the ice and snow
Covering all.
