Oh, they have robbed me of the hope My spirit held so dear; They will not let me hear that voice My soul delights to hear. They will not let me see that face I so delight to see; And they have taken all thy smiles, And all thy love from me. Well, let them seize on all they can: - One treasure still is mine, - A heart that loves to think on thee, And feels the worth of thine. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...CONTRA MORTEM: THE BEING by HAYDEN CARRUTH IMAGINARY ANCESTORS: THE GIRAFFE WOMAN OF BURMA by MADELINE DEFREES THE UNCERTAINTY PRINCIPLE by JAMES GALVIN LET ME NOT HATE by GEORGIA DOUGLAS JOHNSON STREET-CRIES: 2.
