Loves Farewell

by Henry David Thoreau

Henry David Thoreau

Light hearted, careless, shall I take my way,
When I to thee this being have resigned,
Well knowing where upon a future day,
With usurer's craft, more than myself to find.

    Desolation
    by Ella Wheeler Wilcox
    I think that the bitterest sorrow or pain Of love unrequited, or cold death's woe, Is sweet, compared to that hour when we know That some grand passion is on the wane.
