The End Of All.

Topics: classic

I. I do not love you now, O narrow heart, that had no heights but pride! You, whom mine fed; to whom yours still denied Food when mine hungered, and of which love died I do not love you now. II. I do not love you now, O shallow soul, with depths but to deceive! You, whom mine watered; to whom yours did give No drop to drink to help my love to live I do not love you now. III. I do not love you now! But did I love you in the old, old way, And knew you loved me 'though the words should slay Me and your love forever, I would say, "I do not love you now! I do not love you now!"
