XXX. Sweet Sorrow
‘O Sorrow, wilt thou live with me’

By Alfred, Lord Tennyson (1809–1892)


From ‘In Memoriam’ O SORROW, wilt thou live with me
No casual mistress, but a wife,
My bosom-friend and half of life;
As I confess it needs must be;

Be sometimes lovely like a bride,
And put thy harsher moods aside,
If thou wilt have me wise and good….
