William Cowper - Love Faithful In The Absence Of The BelovedWilliam Cowper - Love Faithful In The Absence Of The Beloved
Work rating: Low


In vain ye woo me to your harmless joys, Ye pleasant bowers, remote from strife and noise; Your shades, the witnesses of many a vow, Breathed forth in happier days, are irksome now; Denied that smile `twas once my heaven to see, Such scenes, such pleasures, are all past with me. In vain he leaves me, I shall love him still; And, though I mourn, not murmur at his will; I have no cause—an object all divine, Might well grow weary of a soul like mine; Yet pity me, great God! forlorn, alone, Heartless and hopeless, life and love all gone.
