Poem by Charles Mackay * * * I have lived and I have loved; I have waked and I have slept; I have sung and I have danced; I have smiled and I have wept; I have won and wasted treasure; I have had my fill of pleasure; And all these things were weariness, And some of them were dreariness;-- And all these things, but two things, Were emptiness and pain: And Love--it was the best of them; And Sleep--worth all the rest of them, Worth everything but Love to my spirit and my brain. But still my friend, O Slumber, Till my days complete their number, For Love shall never, never return to me again! Charles Mackay Charles Mackay's other poems: 2303 Views |
