WHY dost thou say thy heart is gone, And no more mine, no more thine own? But, past retrieve, for ever wed, By sacred vow, t' another's bed? Why dost thou tell me that I lie Bound in the same perplexed tie, And that our now divided souls Are cold, and distant as the poles? Do'st thou not know, when first our Loves Were plighted in the secret groves, Our hearts were chang'd with equal flame, Say, Chloris, then how can it be? Could'st thou give me, or I give thee? No, no, ourselves are still the same. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE RIGS O' BARLEY by ROBERT BURNS THE ICE by WILFRID WILSON GIBSON THE SPIDER AND THE FLY by MARY HOWITT THE ANGEL IN THE HOUSE: BOOK 1.
