\"Thought<\/a>
Thought I a poem I will write…<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Thought I: a poem I’ll write
\nFor her every day,
\nThough never loved was she by I
\nMy feelings for her I’d show in my own way.<\/p>\n

But my feelings that I did hide
\nWas I right not to let them be shown?
\nA friend I was to her like many
\nOf my love she has not known.<\/p>\n

Never known and never will
\nFrom now until our death,
\nIt is as if that in our lives
\nHer and I never met.<\/p>\n

Think I: a poem I’ll write
\nBut not every day,
\nTo enrich my memory
\nOr that I’m a fool, to say!<\/p>\n

To be a fool over a girl like\u00a0 her:
\nTo be such I am content
\nFor she was good and she was pure
\nSo to be called so is a compliment.<\/p>\n

For I am not the only one
\nWho by beauty was struck when paths crossed…
\nWas I lucky or did I lose
\nWhen I never had her love to have lost?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
