LOST LOVE, by                 Poet Analysis     Poet's Biography
First Line: I play my sweet old airs
Last Line: A woman as I was born!
Subject(s): Love - Loss Of


I PLAY my sweet old airs -
The airs he knew
When our love was true -
But he does not balk
His determined walk,
And passes up the stairs.

I sing my songs once more,
And presently hear
His footstep near
As if it would stay;
But he goes his way,
And shuts a distant door.

So I wait for another morn,
And another night
In this soul-sick blight;
And I wonder much
As I sit, why such
A woman as I was born!
