Farewell, then. It is finished. I forgo With this all right in you, even that of tears. If I have spoken hardly, it will show How much I loved you. With you disappears A glory, a romance of many years. What you may be henceforth I will not know. The phantom of your presence on my fears Is impotent at length for weal or woe. Your past, your present, all alike must fade In a new land of dreams where love is not. Then kiss me and farewell. The choice is made And we shall live to see the past forgot, If not forgiven. See, I came to curse, Yet stay to bless. I know not which is worse. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE BRAVE OLD OAK by HENRY FOTHERGILL CHORLEY CATAWBA WINE by HENRY WADSWORTH LONGFELLOW ODES II, 10 by QUINTUS HORATIUS FLACCUS THE EVERLASTING GOSPEL (VERSION 2) by WILLIAM BLAKE SORDELLO: BOOK 1 by ROBERT BROWNING PLAINT OF THE PINE by RICHARD EUGENE BURTON TOWARDS DEMOCRACY: PART 3.
