UNA MARSON-LOVE’S LAMENT (poem)
June 17, 2025June 17, 2025 TrevannefoxtonI cannot let you hold me in your arms
And listen while you talk of trivial things;
It pains my heart thus to resist your charms
And see the longings of my soul take wings.
I cannot feel the pressure of your hands
Without the wish to hold them to my lips,
I have no strength to face life’s big demands
While daily from my heart your image slips,
I cannot bear the thought of losing you.
Yet still your presence brings me bitter pain.
The happy days gone by we will not rue— —
Their tender mem’ries still to us remain;
But oh my heart, I cannot bid you stay,
Though as you go you take my life away.
