HAD I a heart till that day? <br />Who knows, who knows? <br />Ere the leaf burst upwards can any say <br />'Here is a green thing hidden away <br />In the lingering new year snows'? <br /> <br />Could I have loved one not her? <br />Can I tell, can I tell? <br />When northern seas feel their life, and stir <br />In their one day's dawn, can they judge and aver <br />'Some other dawn were as well'? <br /> <br />Could I, she lost, love again? <br />May be, may be. <br />The dead man moulders through sun and rain, <br />While a soul forgets his joy and his pain; <br />Yet that soul which forgets is still he.<br /><br />Augusta Davies Webster<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/questions-and-answer/
