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.
