DO NOT TELL HIM, by                     Poet's Biography
First Line: Oh, do not tell him
Last Line: He might believe you.
Subject(s): Love - Complaints


Oh, do not tell him
That he loves you less
And never speak to him
Of faithlessness.

Go softly, loving one,
Aye, have a care --
Name not to him the name
Of one more fair.

It may be you have missed
His tenderness --
Charge not its lack,
Oh, never let him guess!

What though his small
Indifferences grieve you --
Do not proclaim love dead --
He might believe you.
