I Shall Forget

Although my life, which thou hast scarred and shaken,

Retains awhile some influence of thee,

As shells, by faithless waves long since forsaken,

Still murmur with the music of the Sea,

I shall forget. Not thine the haunting beauty,

Which, once beheld, for ever holds the heart,

Or, if resigned from stress of Fate or Duty,

Takes part of life away:–the dearer part.

I gave thee love; thou gavest but Desire.

Ah, the delusion of that summer night!

Thy soul vibrated at the rate of Fire;

Mine, with the rhythm of the waves of Light.

It is my love for thee that I regret,

Not thee, thyself, and hence,–I shall forget!
