Elizabeth Barrett Browning Quotes

And Wilt Thou Have Me Fashion Into Speech
The Love I Bear Thee, Finding Words Enough,
And Hold The Torch Out, While The Winds Are Rough,
Between Our Faces, To Cast Light On Each? -
I Dropt It At Thy Feet. I Cannot Teach
My Hand To Hold My Spirits So Far Off
From Myself
me
that I Should Bring Thee Proof
In Words, Of Love Hid In Me Out Of Reach.
Nay, Let The Silence Of My Womanhood
Commend My Woman-love To Thy Belief, -
Seeing That I Stand Unwon, However Wooed,
And Rend The Garment Of My Life, In Brief,
By A Most Dauntless, Voiceless Fortitude,
Lest One Touch Of This Heart Convey Its Grief.
