You and I <br />Similarly both <br />Saw through love <br />Life's worth. <br />Just for us alone <br />This world <br />Almighty God <br />Brought forth, <br />We did every <br />Beauty magnify, <br />As description <br />That defy! <br />A problem giant <br />We were sure <br />Easily to surmount! <br /> <br />From hope's debris <br />It was our wont, <br />To extrapolate <br />A rosy prospect, <br />We also made haste <br />Our whims to reciprocate! <br /> <br />For example take <br />For each other's sake <br />Each other's advantage <br />Enviably ready we were <br />To put on the stake. <br /> <br />How failed we then <br />That grain to sustain <br />When honeymoon <br />Made a bridgehead <br />To marriage's strain?<br /><br />Alem Hailu Gabre Kristos<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/how-failed-we/
