How do I loathe thee! Let me count the ways. I hate you to the depths of damnation, The misery that is my final song, A melody once-honeyed, by Hope forsaken. I dread your calling, the accusing drone And belligerent world that heralds my doom. My soul's hate! shell of careless Joy my tomb To which I run, no more caring what from. 'Twas once tenderness, now love mistempered Sweet words now poisoned barbs, bred of a love That in its haste all desire did remove, Partners once trine with bitterness inured. The fears I've known now married in the rage That beseems fair Cupid's moribund dirge. |
