Love
Angelica, 8
Translated by Edgar Alfred Bowring (1908) · From New Poems: Angelica
Love
Dismiss me not, although thy thirst
The pleasant draught has still’d;
Some three months longer keep me on,
Till I too have been fill’d.
If thou my love canst not remain,
O be my friend, I pray;
For when one has outloved one’s love,
Friendship may have its way.
