Distance Poem by Dorothy Parker

Distance

Rating: 3.2


Were you to cross the world, my dear,
To work or love or fight,
I could be calm and wistful here,
And close my eyes at night.

It were a sweet and gallant pain
To be a sea apart;
But, oh, to have you down the lane
Is bitter to my heart.

It's hard to put words to how deeply sad this feels.
