OH, you are free! When you are satisfied, When you have all my love can give you here, I shall not keep you. Go! No faltering fear Of mine shall hinder you from searching wide Unguarded ways, forbid your spirit glide Beyond the harboured safety of each year In which I've loved you. Now you are so near That all your dreams are mine. You cannot hide The faintest dawning of your thought. How should You spare me when you go? Yet you are free, Oh, you are free, to change or to progress! So be it when you shall turn quietly Away from me, you have but understood Your love can leave no room for loneliness. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE HOUR BETWEEN DOG AND WOLF: 2.
