Go From Me
(this one was given to me by my lover, though it was written by another)
Go from me
Go from me
Yet I feel that I shall stand
henceforward in thy shadow.
Nevermore alone upon the threshold
of individual life
shall I command the uses of my soul
Nor lift my hand serenely
in the sunshine as before
Without the sense of that which I forbore.
The widest land doom takes
to part us
Leaves thy heart in mine
with pulses that beat double.
What I do and what I dream
include thee
as the wine must taste of
its own grapes.
And when I sue God for myself
He hears that name of thine
And sees within my eyes
The tears of two.
