First Line: I look upon thy face, and reason says / it is the same
Last Line: Eros has fled.
Subject(s): Love - Loss Of
I look upon thy face, and reason says
It is the same;
I hear thy voice; and, just as others do,
I speak thy name.
So cold am I; (O love where hast thou flown
That lit my heart?)
So calm am I; no more thy touch doth make
My life-blood start
To serve thee. Thou hast driven sweet love away.
Above thy head
No longer floats the glory of his wings.
Eros has fled.
