In my nocturnal wanderings <br /> I would with thee my sweet abide <br /> and cosset thee with pandering <br />To show the love I cannot hide <br />Of late thou dost not welcome me <br /> As in the past thou wert wont to do <br />There is no reason I can see <br /> my faithful heart belongs to you <br />I fear some youth usurps my place. <br />Now thou hast picked my pockets clean. <br />Though some may say thou lackest grace. <br /> I will remember what has been. <br /> I can forgive but not forget <br />The lesson thou hast taught me yet <br /> <br />8-Jun-08 <br />http: // blog.my space.com/poeticpiers<br /><br />ivor or ivor.e hogg<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/old-fool-2/
