Arthur Symons - Love And Sorrow
Work rating: Low

I know not if the love be dead 
I sang of once, or only asleep; 
The feet of my joy no longer tread 
In the pulses of my heart: is this 
The measure that they used to keep? 
Now all the old tunes are sung amiss, 
And all the old words they said are said; 
Is it that the old love is dead, 
Or sleeps, and will awaken from sleep? 

O love, not dead, so soon to awake, 
Too idle-happy to know content, 
Sorrow has come: come, sorrow, make 
The feet of my joy remember soon; 
My heart remembers the words that went, 
Once, to an old and happy tune, 
When love was grave, for no sorrow`s sake; 
Shall love, that slept, again be awake, 
And this kind sorrow bring back content?
