Could I Forget?
Could I forget that I have held the best
Of this Earth's treasures in my fervent grasp—
Then should I be content to sadly clasp
The wreck of beauty, and my soul might rest!
But I, who thought I knew the perfect whole,
Must still remember that lost ecstasy,
And so this lesser thing you proffer me
But sets the seal of anguish on my soul!
Of this Earth's treasures in my fervent grasp—
Then should I be content to sadly clasp
The wreck of beauty, and my soul might rest!
But I, who thought I knew the perfect whole,
Must still remember that lost ecstasy,
And so this lesser thing you proffer me
But sets the seal of anguish on my soul!
