RISPETTO
Reading edition
III Ah, Love, I cannot die, I cannot go Down in the dark and leave you all alone, Ah, hold me fast, safe in the warmth I know, And never shut me underneath a stone. Dead in the grave! And I can never hear If you are ill, or if you miss me, dear, Dead, oh, my God! and you may need me yet, While I shall sleep, while I—while I—forget! A. Mary F. Robinson
