I shall not go with pain <br />Whether you hold me, whether you forget <br />My little loss and my immortal gain. <br />O flower unseen, O fountain sealed apart! <br />Give me one look, one look remembering yet, <br />Sweet heart. <br /> <br />I shall not go with grief, <br />Whether you call me, whether you deny <br />The crowning vintage and the golden sheaf. <br />O, April hopes that blossom but to close! <br />Give me one look, one look and so good-bye, <br />Red rose. <br /> <br />I shall not go with sighs, <br />But as full-crowned the warrior leaves the fight, <br />Dawn on his shield and death upon his eyes. <br />O, life so bitter-sweet and heaven so far! <br />Give me one look, one look and so good night, <br />My star.<br /><br />Marjorie Lowry Christie Pickthall<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/i-shall-not-go-with-pain/
