WITHOUT you, love, my life is but a void— Without you, love, this world is just a space— Oh, could you but come back, a little while, And bring new pleasure to this saddened face! Without you, love, I know not what to do— Without you, love, my strength is like a reed— You can not be replaced—and you have gone, While I—am left alone, in bitterest need! Without you, love, I bear a shattered heart— Without you, love, I know but one thing—that I am the softest mark upon this club, Since I broke you in two, my favorite bat! | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...SONNET by DAVID HARTLEY COLERIDGE THIRTY EIGHT.
