College: Forgive My Having Loved You... Poem by Brian Johnston

Forgive my having loved you,
If only on the wind,
But never will my love rescind.

Forgive my having loved you,
‘Twas impudent I know,
To seek my rest where flowers grow.

Forgive my having loved you,
My poem's life so brief,
It's back's been broken by a thief.

Forgive my having loved you,
Incline not to despair,
What fails on earth can meet in air.

Forgive my having loved you,
If morning spells my doom….,
Inter my heart where flowers bloom.

Forgive my having loved you,
The world may yet be fair,
My essence grace a lady's hair.
