LOVE hath querulous grown and sad -- We should have parted yesterday; A wistful lass and a tender lad -- Pity it was we chose to stay. Over-long was the joy we had -- Why we wearied what man may say? Love hath querulous grown and sad -- We should have parted yesterday. O, to have said when hearts were glad, "Kiss me and go," as lovers may. Now we sneer that the dream was mad, Yawn and wonder and turn away. Love hath querulous grown and sad -- We should have parted yesterday. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...COMMEMORATION ODE READ AT HARVARD UNIVERSITY by JAMES RUSSELL LOWELL O, BREATHE NOT HIS NAME! by THOMAS MOORE THE VANITY OF THE WORLD by FRANCIS QUARLES THE LOVER TO THE THAMES OF LONDON TO FAVOUR HIS LADY ... by GEORGE TURBERVILLE |
