Love
So Late Removed from Him She Swore
From Works and Life, ed. Forster, vol. VIII (1876)
Love
So late removed from him she swore,
With clasping arms and vows and tears,
In life and death she would adore,
While memory, fondness, bliss, endears.
Can she forswear? can she forget?
Strike, mighty Love! strike, Vengeance! Soft!
Conscience must come and bring regret . .
These let her feel! . . nor these too oft!
