      • When high Zeus first peopled earth
      • Methinks my love to thee doth grow
      • Thou must not leave me
      • It was deep April, and the morn
      • Apollo and the Muses taught thee not
      • There comes a change in her breath
      • A girl
      • Our myrtle is in flower
      • She lies asleep: I, watching, do not dare
      • Mine is the eddying foam and the broken current
      • Sweet of my poet how sweet are the eyes, the eye-lids
      • Though I sing high, and chaunt above her
      • Have you seen the olives at set of sun
      • Shall there ever be a morn
      • I love her with the seasons, with the winds
      • O sweet, all sweet, - the body as the shyer

Have you seen the olives at set of sun

    Annotations

    FORSAKING

    HAVE you seen the olives at set of sun, 
    How their fiery maze,
    That tossed him his sparkles, snatched his rays. 
    Becomes a region of limitless grays. 
    Dead, bough on bough. 
    For lack of the sun ? 
    Love, this is how 
    Living would be if thy life were ran : 
    Leave me not, thou !
