DIVINEST Cælia, send no more to ask How I in absence do; your servant may Be freed of that unnecessary task: For you may know it by a shorter way. I was a shadow when I went from you; And shadows are from sickness ever free. My heart you kept (a sad one, though a true) And nought but memory went home with me. Look in your breast, where now two hearts you have, And see if they agree together there: If mine want aid, be merciful and save, And seek not for me any other where: Should my physician question how I do, I cannot tell him, till I ask of you. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...A SHROPSHIRE LAD: 52 by ALFRED EDWARD HOUSMAN THE PASSOVER IN THE HOLY FAMILY (FOR A DRAWING) by DANTE GABRIEL ROSSETTI SYSTEM by ROBERT LOUIS STEVENSON THE OWL by PHILIP EDWARD THOMAS CHARACTERS: MRS.
