HAST thou forgotten me? the days are dark— <br /> Light ebbs from heaven, and songless soars the lark— <br />Vexed like my heart, loud moans the unquiet sea— <br /> Hast thou forgotten me? <br /> <br />Hast thou forgotten me? O dead delight <br />Whose dreams and memories torture me to-night— <br />O love—my life! O sweet—so fair to see— <br /> Hast thou forgotten me? <br /> <br />Hast thou forgotten? Lo, if one should say— <br />Noontide were night, or night were flaming day— <br />Grief blinds mine eyes, I know not which it be! <br /> Hast thou forgotten me? <br /> <br />Hast thou forgotten? Ah, if Death should come, <br />Close my sad eyes, and charm my song-bird dumb— <br />Tired of strange woes—my fate were hailed with glee— <br /> Hast thou forgotten me? <br /> <br />Hast thou forgotten me? What joy have I? <br />A dim blown bird beneath an alien sky,— <br />O that on mighty pinions I could flee— <br /> Hast thou forgotten me? <br /> <br />Hast thou forgotten? Yea, Love’s horoscope <br />Is blurred with tears and suffering beyond Hope— <br />Ah, like dead leaves forsaken of the tree, <br /> Thou hast forgotten me. <br /> <br /><br /><br />Philip Joseph Holdsworth<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/hast-thou-forgotten-me/
