Love
To---- (I heed not that my earthly lot)
From The Complete Poetical Works, ed. Ingram
Love
I heed not that my earthly lot
Hath--little of Earth in it--
That years of love have been forgot
In the hatred of a minute:--
I mourn not that the desolate
Are happier, sweet, than I,
But that _you_ sorrow for _my_ fate
Who am a passer-by.
