Choice Poem by James Vincent Cunningham
Choice
Allegiance is assigned
Forever when the mind
Chooses and stamps the will.
Thus, I must love you still
Through good and ill.
But though we cannot part
We may retract the heart
And build such privacies
As self-regard agrees
Conduce to ease.
So manners will repair
The ravage of despair
Which generous love invites,
Preferring quiet nights
To vain delights.
