Classic Poem

I KNOW how to hold
As the lovers of old—
How to cling to you, sing to you,
Let all the world know the song that I bring to you
But I do not know yet
How to go and forget!

I know how to call
To the God over all—
How to sigh for you, cry for you,
Fight down the terrible dark till I die for you.
But I do not know yet
How to go and forget!
