Life In A Love
Robert Browning
Escape me?
Neverā
Beloved!
While I am I, and you are you,
So long as the world contains us both,
Me the loving and you the loth,
While the one eludes, must the other pursue.
My life is a fault at last, I fearā
It seems too much like a fate, indeed!
Though I do my best I shall scarce succeedā
But what if I fail of my purpose here?
Neverā
Beloved!
While I am I, and you are you,
So long as the world contains us both,
Me the loving and you the loth,
While the one eludes, must the other pursue.
My life is a fault at last, I fearā
It seems too much like a fate, indeed!
Though I do my best I shall scarce succeedā
But what if I fail of my purpose here?
It is but to keep the nerves at strain,
To dry one’s eyes and laugh at a fall,
And baffled, get up to begin again,ā
So the chase takes up one’s life, that’s all.
While, look but once from your farthest bound,
At me so deep in the dust and dark,
No sooner the old hope drops to ground
Than a new one, straight to the selfsame mark,
I shape meā
Ever
Removed!
