Elizabeth Barrett Browning - Go from Me' by - poem

Go from Me.Yet I feel that I shall stand'
From' Sonnets from the Portuguese' VI
byElizabeth Barrett Browning (1806-1861)
read by Juliet Stevenson


Go from me. Yet I feel that I shall stand
Henceforward in thy shadow. Nevermore
Alone upon the threshold of my door
Of individual life, I shall command
The uses of my soul, nor lift my hand
Serenely in the sunshine as before,
Without the sense of that which I forbore--
Thy touch upon the palm. The widest land
Doom takes to part us, leaves thy heart in mine
With pulses that beat double. What I do
And what I dream include thee, as the wine
Must taste of its own grapes. And when I sue
God for myself, He hears that name of thine,
And sees within my eyes the tears of two.

Why is it everyone remembers E. B. B., and her lovely poetry, but no one remembers the "Songs of the Portuguese" on here? - or is that too great an undertaking for this format, or one soul?
