Love
Insentience
From Works (1913), vol. I
Love
O SWEET is Love, and sweet is Lack!
But is there any charm
When Lack from round the neck of Love
Drops her languid arm?
Weary, I no longer love,
Weary, no more lack;
O for a pang, that listless Loss
Might wake, and, with a playmate’s voice,
Call the tired Love back!
