Random Poem of the Day
1 One word is too often profaned
2 For me to profane it,
3One feeling too falsely disdained
4 For thee to disdain it;
5One hope is too like despair
6 For prudence to smother,
7And pity from thee more dear
8 Than that from another.
9 I can give not what men call love,
10 But wilt thou accept not
11The worship the heart lifts above
12 And the Heavens reject not,--
13The desire of the moth for the star,
14 Of the night for the morrow,
15The devotion to something afar
16 From the sphere of our sorrow?
