UNA MARSON-LOVE’S LAMENT (poem)

June 17, 2025June 17, 2025 Trevannefoxton

I 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.
