Subject(s): Love - Loss Of
What have I lost in losing you?
Only the savour of all things.
In the same sky the same bird sings,
The same clouds darken in the blue;
Only, all's changed, in losing you!
In losing you, I lose the care
That held me fettered all my days;
I see before me bright new ways
That beckon me, I know not where;
And yet I do not greatly care.
For I have lost, in losing you,
Not you alone, but my own youth,
My hope in fame, my faith in truth,
And all I was to be and do,
And life itself, in losing you!
