God let me listen to your voice, <br />And look upon you for a space — <br />And then he took your voice away, <br />And dropped a veil before your face. <br />God let me look within your eyes, <br />And touch for once your clinging hand, <br />And then he left me all alone, <br />And took you to the Silent Land. <br />I cannot weep, I cannot pray, <br />My heart has very silent grown, <br />I only watch how God gives love, <br />And then leaves lovers all alone.<br /><br />Sara Teasdale<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/dead-love-14/
