Maybe somewhere there's a world where one Alone might live unloved and happy still, Dependent only on a well-wrought will Imposing love upon a world of stone. No such world awaits me. I am yours As surely as sweet music needs an ear; Wealth, a cause; or pain, a friendly tear; Eve, the sunlit moon that sight restores. Do this, though, for you, and not for me; Simply for your own sake, not for mine: Read the letters that begin each line, In which I put my poor wish, vertically.
