ALL that a man may pray, Have I not prayed to thee? What were praise left to say, Has not been said by me O, ma mie? Yet thine eyes and thine heart, Always were dumb to me: Only to be my part, Sorrow has come from thee, O, ma mie? Where shall I seek and hide My grief away with me? Lest my bitter tears should chide, Bring brief dismay to thee, O, ma mie? More than a man may pray, Have I not prayed to thee? What were praise left to say, Has not been said by me, O, ma mie? | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...TO A DEAD MAN by CARL SANDBURG BALLADE AGAINST THE ENEMIES OF FRANCE by FRANCOIS VILLON HUMPTY DUMPTY RECITATION [OR, SONG] by CHARLES LUTWIDGE DODGSON MONADNOC by RALPH WALDO EMERSON LOVE IN THE WINDS by RICHARD HOVEY THE MORAL FABLES: THE WOLF AND THE WETHER by AESOP |
