They have said evil of my dear; Therefore my heart is vexed and drear: But what is it to them If he be fair or foul to see, Since he is perfect joy to me. He loves me well: the like do I: I do not look with half an eye, But seek to pleasure him. From all the rest I choose him here; I want no other for my dear: How then should he displease Those who may leave him if they please? God keep him from all fear. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE RECONCILEMENT by JOHN SHEFFIELD A RECIPE FOR SALAD by SYDNEY SMITH CITY ROOFS by CHARLES HANSON TOWNE THOREAU by AMOS BRONSON ALCOTT A WINTER TWILIGHT by ARLO BATES SUBJECT LOVE, FOR THE VASE AT BATHEASTON VILLA by JANE BOWDLER |
