Never again the sight of her? <br />Never her winsome smile <br />Shall light the path of my journeying <br />O'er many a weary mile? <br />Never again shall her soft voice come <br />To cheer me all the while? <br />O Thou, who hearest from above, <br />Tell me, is this the price of love? <br /> <br />Never again the touch of her lips? <br />Never her dark, brown eyes <br />Shall shine on me with the dancing joy <br />Of stars in the summer skies? <br />Never again shall my song be aught <br />Save minor chords of sighs? <br />O Thou, who hearest from above, <br />Tell me, is this the price of love?<br /><br />Joseph Seamon Cotter<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/is-this-the-price-of-love/
