LOVE'S WAYS, by                 Poet Analysis     Poet's Biography
First Line: You were not cruel always! Nay
Last Line: Now, you need never come again.
Subject(s): Love - Complaints


You were not cruel always! Nay,
When I said Come! one year ago:
Could you have lingered by the way?
Did not the very wind seem slow?

Then, had you tarried, I had known
Nor love's delight, nor lost love's pain:
Then, always had I lived alone.
Now, you need never come again.
