THE LOVE SONNETS OF PROTEUS: 53. FAREWELL TO JULIET (15), by WILFRID SCAWEN BLUNT Poet Analysis Poet's Biography First Line: Farewell, then. It is finished. I forgo Last Line: Yet stay to bless. I know not which is worse. | |||
Farewell, then. It is finished. I forgo With this all right in you, even that of tears. If I have spoken hardly, it will show How much I loved you. With you disappears A glory, a romance of many years. What you may be henceforth I will not know. The phantom of your presence on my fears Is impotent at length for weal or woe. Your past, your present, all alike must fade In a new land of dreams where love is not. Then kiss me and farewell. The choice is made And we shall live to see the past forgot, If not forgiven. See, I came to curse, Yet stay to bless. I know not which is worse. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...ESTHER; A YOUNG MAN'S TRAGEDY: 51 by WILFRID SCAWEN BLUNT THE LOVE SONNETS OF PROTEUS: 110.
