James Whitcomb Riley - The Passing Of A HeartJames Whitcomb Riley - The Passing Of A Heart
Work rating: Low


O touch me with your hands--                           For pity`s sake!   My brow throbs ever on with such an ache   As only your cool touch may take away;   And so, I pray               You, touch me with your hands!   Touch--touch me with your hands.--                           Smooth back the hair   You once caressed, and kissed, and called so fair   That I did dream its gold would wear alway,   And lo, to-day--                   O touch me with your hands!   Just touch me with your hands,                           And let them press   My weary eyelids with the old caress,   And lull me till I sleep.  Then go your way,   That Death may say:                       He touched her with his hands.
