Explore "NEVER (Song)" by Madison Cawein on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
Love hath no place in her, / Though in her bosom be / Love-thoughts and dreams that stir / Longings that know not me: / Love hath no place in her, / No place for me.
Never within her eyes / Do I the love-light see; / Never her soul replies / To the sad soul in me: / Never with soul and eyes / Speaks she to me.
She is a star, a rose, / I but a moth, a bee; / High in her heaven she glows, / Blooms far away from me: / She is a star, a rose, / Never for me.
Why will I think of her / To my heart's misery? / Dreaming how sweet it were / Had she a thought of me: / Why will I think of her! / Why, why, ah me!
