James Whitcomb Riley - Let Us ForgetJames Whitcomb Riley - Let Us Forget
Work rating: Low


Let us forget.  What matters it that we     Once reigned o`er happy realms of long-ago,     And talked of love, and let our voices low,   And ruled for some brief sessions royally?   What if we sung, or laughed, or wept maybe?     It has availed not anything, and so     Let it go by that we may better know   How poor a thing is lost to you and me.     But yesterday I kissed your lips, and yet   Did thrill you not enough to shake the dew     From your drenched lids--and missed, with no regret,   Your kiss shot back, with sharp breaths failing you;     And so, to-day, while our worn eyes are wet     With all this waste of tears, let us forget!
