Robbed
Did I know, in flush of youth,
Meeting you with careless kiss,
Speaking love as gifted truth,
holding you in carefree bliss?
Did I know, mindlessly sure,
When we were lithe and strong,
Assuming health would long endure,
Pretending life could not go wrong?
Did I know, till robbed of you,
You were my breath, and beating heart,
Soul of my soul, my body's truth,
All my wealth, all my art?
