OH! if thou wilt not give thine heart, Give back my own to me; For if in thine I have no part, Why should mine dwell with thee? Yet no! this mournful love of mine I will not from me cast; Let me but dream 'twill win me thine By its deep truth at last! Can aught so fond, so faithful, live Through years without reply? -- Oh! if thy heart thou wilt not give, Give me a thought, a sigh! | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...A MINOR POET by STEPHEN VINCENT BENET TO J.
