AH, had I thee but sooner seen, Though e'en for one brief hour, That happy moment would I bless While dying lips had pow'r! Ah, had I thee but sooner loved, Thou pure light of my soul!

Ah, had I thee but sooner loved, Although in dreamland free, My hope's fair blossoms would not hang All withered on Life's tree! | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...MUJER by WILLIAM CARLOS WILLIAMS ASTROPHEL AND STELLA: 39 by PHILIP SIDNEY A CROWNED POET by ANNE REEVE ALDRICH TEMPEST by ANITA CONCHITA ALLMON CHARACTERS: MR.
