What have I lost in losing you? Only the savour of all things. In the same sky the same bird sings, The same clouds darken in the blue; Only, all's changed, in losing you! In losing you, I lose the care That held me fettered all my days; I see before me bright new ways That beckon me, I know not where; And yet I do not greatly care. For I have lost, in losing you, Not you alone, but my own youth, My hope in fame, my faith in truth, And all I was to be and do, And life itself, in losing you! |
