Life In A Love
Escape me? Never Beloved! While I am I, and you are you, So long as the world contains us both, Me the loving and you the loth While the one eludes, must the other pursue. My life is a fault at last, I fear It seems too much like a fate, indeed! Though I do my best I shall scarce succeed But what if I fail of my purpose here? It is but to keep the nerves at strain, To dry ones eyes and laugh at a fall, And, baffled, get up and begin again, So the chace takes up ones life thats all. While, look but once from your farthest bound At me so deep in the dust and dark, No sooner the old hope goes to ground Than a new one, straight to the self-same mark, I shape me Ever Removed!
