Letter to Sir Gregory

Letter to Sir Gregory

Have all but love; have none but love,
Drink to silence or drink to me.
I am your virtues; your weakened dreams,
Once upon the Greenland Seas.
Listen to me now dear lord--dear sir,
What gifts borne from my mother land
Do you so desire as to take a bride--me
As your guilty mortal brand?

In name only shall we say two words--
But let there be no bitterness,
You have your continueous green sums
And I, your home's new mistress.
One day you're see, you're not so gallant--
If one unbearing touch seize fright,
The moment you know I have spoken of love--
Once upon a midsummer night

    "Have all but love; have none but love,
    Drink to silence or drink to me.

    What a terrific success. It's too marvelous for meager words to offer merit, I believe. This piece further rings a bell with me. It actually reminds me of Robert Browning's poem: My Last Duchess. Not only does it seem an allusion to the said poem, but it also works as a good comeback for the Duke's new wife's point of view. But then, again... perhaps it's just me.
    I truly enjoyed this piece. All the best.

    I thought the poem was very heartfelt and written well, the imagery and vocab were great as well. I loved how it was a love poem but rather unique from most others. Keep up the great work 5/5 GG23
