LOVE'S WAYS by LIONEL PIGOT JOHNSON

Poet Analysis

First Line: YOU WERE NOT CRUEL ALWAYS! NAY
Last Line: NOW, YOU NEED NEVER COME AGAIN.
Subject(s): LOVE - COMPLAINTS;
You were not cruel always! Nay,
When I said @3Come!@1 one year ago:
Could you have lingered by the way?
Did not the very wind seem slow?

Then, had you tarried, I had known
Nor love's delight, nor lost love's pain:
Then, always had I lived alone.
Now, you need never come again.
