If truth in hearts that perish Could move the powers on high, I think the love I bear you Should make you not to die. Sure, sure, if steadfast meaning, , If single thought could save, The world might end to-morrow, You should not see the grave. This long and sure-set liking, This boundless will to please, Oh, you should live for ever If there were help in these. But now, since all is idle, To this lost heart be kind, Ere to a town you journey Where friends are ill to find. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...LA NOCHE TRISTE by ROBERT FROST MARIANNE MOORE by WILLIAM CARLOS WILLIAMS A POET'S EPITAPH by EBENEZER ELLIOTT LOST LOVE by ROBERT RANKE GRAVES ABRAHAM LINCOLN (1) by RICHARD HENRY STODDARD ON PLOUGHING by EVELYN D.
