HATE ME A LITTLE, by WILL CHAMBERLAIN First Line: Hate me a little if you cannot love Last Line: Hate me a little if you cannot love. Subject(s): Hearts; Love - Complaints | |||
Hate me a little if you cannot love. Nor do I wish a faint heart's tricking praise. I choose the love, but do not mock My soul with nibbles from begrudging ways. Scorn me a little if you cannot pour For me a clear, full glass of wine. I'll take the drink if it be true and frank, But not the dregs and drippings of the vine. Spare me your frail uncertainties. Test me with hate and let it prove Whether I'm worthy, whether fit. Hate me a little if you cannot love. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...TALKING RICHARD WILSON BLUES, BY RICHARD CLAY WILSON by DENIS JOHNSON THE BRIDGE by ALEXANDER ANDERSON THE RABBI'S SON-IN-LAW by SABINE BARING-GOULD MISGIVINGS by WILLIAM MATTHEWS THROUGH AGONY: 1 by CLAUDE MCKAY HEMATITE HEIRLOOM LIVES ON (MAYBE DECEMBER 1980) by ALICE NOTLEY QUICK AND BITTER by YEHUDA AMICHAI A PACK OF LIES TO GOD by WILL CHAMBERLAIN |
