SWEET darling, beloved by me solely, The thoughts in my memory dwell That once I possess'd thee wholly, Thy soul and body as well. Thy body, so young and tender, I need, beyond all doubt; Thy soul to the tomb I'll surrender, I've plenty of soul without. I'll cut my soul in sunder, And half of it breathe into thee, And when I embrace thee, -- O wonder! -- One soul and body we'll be. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...ON LENDING A PUNCH BOWL by OLIVER WENDELL HOLMES ENGLAND AND AMERICA IN 1782 by ALFRED TENNYSON THE RIVER IN THE MEADOWS by LEONIE ADAMS ADMIRAL, HAIL! by ANNA EMILIA BAGSTAD A PRAYER by HENRY MAXIMILIAN BEERBOHM |
