HOW CAN I?, by IRENE H. WILSON
First Line: I cannot spend my loneliness upon idle things
Last Line: And tomorrow is forever.
Subject(s): Solitude; Loneliness
First Line: I cannot spend my loneliness upon idle things
Last Line: And tomorrow is forever.
Subject(s): Solitude; Loneliness
I cannot spend my loneliness upon idle things
Nor live and send my heart away from me,
For living without love is life malformed
And idle pleasures meaningless.
I cannot face tomorrow without you
Nor bear the sorrow of just remembering,
For memory spurns the soul with thorns most sharp
And tomorrow is forever.
