I SEEK no more to bridge the gulf that lies Betwixt our separate ways; For vainly my heart prays, Hope droops her head and dies; I see the sad, tired answer in your eyes. I did not heed, and yet the stars were clear; Dreaming that love could mate Lives grown so separate; But at the best, my dear, I see we should not have been very near. I knew the end before the end was nigh: The stars have grown so plain; Vainly I sigh, in vain For things that come to some, But unto you and me will never come. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE LONELY CHILD by JAMES OPPENHEIM NO SECOND TROY by WILLIAM BUTLER YEATS A JAPANESE DWARF TREE by ISABEL ANDERSON PSALM 119 by OLD TESTAMENT BIBLE THE OLD COVE by HENRY HOWARD BROWNELL |
