Elizabeth Barrett Browning - Portuguese VI lyrics
[Elizabeth Barrett Browning - Portuguese VI lyrics]
Go from me yet I feel that I shall stand
Henceforward in thy shadow nevermore
Alone upon the threshold of my door
Of individual life, I shall command
The uses of my soul, nor lift my hand
Serenely in the sunshine as before
Without the sense of that which I forbore -
Thy touch upon the palm the widest land
Doom takes to part us
Leaves thy heart in mine
With pulses that beat double what I do
And what I dream include thee, as the wine
Must taste of it's own grapes and when I sue
God for myself, He hears that name of thine
And sees within my eyes the tears of two
Henceforward in thy shadow nevermore
Alone upon the threshold of my door
Of individual life, I shall command
The uses of my soul, nor lift my hand
Serenely in the sunshine as before
Without the sense of that which I forbore -
Thy touch upon the palm the widest land
Doom takes to part us
Leaves thy heart in mine
With pulses that beat double what I do
And what I dream include thee, as the wine
Must taste of it's own grapes and when I sue
God for myself, He hears that name of thine
And sees within my eyes the tears of two
