Explore "Hadst thou with all thy loveliness been true" by Bliss Carman on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
Hadst thou, with all thy loveliness, been true, / Had I, with all my tenderness, been strong, / We had not made this ruin out of life, / This desolation in a world of joy, / My poor Gorgo.
Yet even the high gods at times do err; / Be therefore thou not overcome with woe, / But dedicate anew to greater love / An equal heart, and be thy radiant self / Once more, Gorgo.
