Farewell, dear Heart! Since needs it must I go, <br />Dear Heart, farewell! <br />Fain would I stay, but that I love thee so. <br />One kiss, ma Belle! <br />What hope lies in the Land we do not know, <br />Who, Dear, can tell? <br />But thee I love, and let thy 'plaint be, ‘Lo, <br />He loved me well!’<br /><br />Coventry Patmore<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/ma-belle/
