Here you will find the Poem Song. YES ....though we've loved so long of poet Amelia Opie
YES ....though we've loved so long, so well, Imperious duty bids us part; But though thy breast with anguish swell, A pang more lasting tears my heart. My grief is dumb,....loquacious thine, The mournful hoard I sacred keep; Thou seekest crowds, alone I pine; My eyes are dry, but thine can weep. Then, whatsoe'er thy lips have vowed, A truer sorrow sways my soul; For shallow streams run bright and loud, Deep waters darkly silent roll.
