Dear heart, why will you use me so? <br />Dear eyes that gently me upbraid, <br />Still are you beautiful -- - but O, <br />How is your beauty raimented! <br /> <br />Through the clear mirror of your eyes, <br />Through the soft sigh of kiss to kiss, <br />Desolate winds assail with cries <br />The shadowy garden where love is. <br /> <br />And soon shall love dissolved be <br />When over us the wild winds blow -- - <br />But you, dear love, too dear to me, <br />Alas! why will you use me so?<br /><br />James Joyce<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/dear-heart-why-will-you-use-me-so/
