Sonnet 06 - Go from me. Yet I feel that I shall stand | Poem by Elizabeth Barrett Browning

Sonnet 06 Go from me Yet I feel that I shall stand Poem 

................... by Elizabeth Barrett Browning

_______________________________________________________________________________________

Go from me.
Yet I feel that I shall stand
Henceforward in thy shadow.
Nevermore
Alone upon the threshold of my door
Of individual life, I shall command
The uses of my soul, nor lift my hand
Serenely in the sunshine as before,
Without the sense of that which I forbore?
Thy touch upon the palm.
The widest land
Doom takes to part us, leaves thy heart in mine
With pulses that beat double.
What I do
And what I dream include thee, as the wine
Must taste of its own grapes.
And when I sue
God for myself, He hears that name of thine,
And sees within my eyes the tears of two.
