"Sing of a love lost and forgotten, "Sing of a joy finished and o'er, "Sing of a heart core-cold and rotten, "Sing of a hope springing no more." -- -- "Sigh for a heart aching and sore." -- "I was most true and my own love betrayed me, "I was most true and she would none of me. "Was it the cry of the world that dismayed thee? "Love, I had bearded the wide world for thee." -- "Hark to the sorrowful sound of the sea." -- "Still in my dreams she comes tender and gracious, "Still in my dreams love looks out of her eyes: "Oh that the love of a dream were veracious, "Or that thus dreaming I might not arise!" -- "Oh for the silence that stilleth all sighs." -- | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...CURIOSITY by PAUL LAURENCE DUNBAR A CROWNED POET by ANNE REEVE ALDRICH MAKE FRIENDS by ALI IBN ABU TALIB CHARACTERS: MARTHA JENNINGS by ANNA LETITIA BARBAULD SONNETS OF MANHOOD: 9.
