[VIII. To lose thee, sweeter than to gain]
To lose thee, sweeter than to gain
All other hearts I knew.
'Tis true the drought is destitute,
But then I had the dew!
All other hearts I knew.
'Tis true the drought is destitute,
But then I had the dew!
The Caspian has its realms of sand,
Its other realm of sea;
Without the sterile perquisite
No Caspian could be.
Its other realm of sea;
Without the sterile perquisite
No Caspian could be.
