Subject(s): Love; Reason; Intellect; Rationalism; Brain; Mind; Intellectuals
If in that breast so good, so pure,
Compassion ever loved to dwell;
Pity the sorrows I endure!
The cause I must not, dare not, tell!
The grief that on my quiet preys,
That rends my heart, that checks my tongue,
I fear will last me all my days;
But feel it will not last me long.
