LOVE UNSOUGHT, by EMMA CATHERINE (MANLY) EMBURY First Line: They tell me that I must not love Last Line: Thy pathway like a distant star. Alternate Author Name(s): Ianthe | ||||||||
THEY tell me that I must not love, That thou wilt spurn the free And unbought tenderness that gives Its hidden wealth to thee. It may be so: I heed it not, Nor would I change my blissful lot, When thus I am allowed to make My heart a bankrupt for thy sake. They tell me when the fleeting charm Of novelty is o'er, Thou'lt turn away with careless brow And think of me no more. It may be so! enough for me If sunny skies still smile o'er thee, Or I can trace, when thou art far, Thy pathway like a distant star. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...CHRIST IN THE TEMPEST by EMMA CATHERINE (MANLY) EMBURY CONFICENCE IN HEAVEN by EMMA CATHERINE (MANLY) EMBURY DARK THOUGHTS by EMMA CATHERINE (MANLY) EMBURY ERROR by EMMA CATHERINE (MANLY) EMBURY FAREWELL by EMMA CATHERINE (MANLY) EMBURY HEEDLESSNESS by EMMA CATHERINE (MANLY) EMBURY HOW HAVE I THOUGHT OF THEE? by EMMA CATHERINE (MANLY) EMBURY INQUIETUDE by EMMA CATHERINE (MANLY) EMBURY JANE OF FRANCE by EMMA CATHERINE (MANLY) EMBURY LAMENT (OF ONE OF THE OLD REGIME) by EMMA CATHERINE (MANLY) EMBURY |
