Description


If the past were offered me again,
And choice of good and ill before me set
Would I accept the pleasure with the pain
Or dare to wish that we had never met?
Ah! could I bear those happy hours to miss
When love began, unthought of and unspoke
That summer day when by a sudden kiss
We knew each other's secret and awoke?
Ah no! not even to escape the pain,
Debate and anguish that I underwent
Flying from thee and my own self in vain
With trouble wasted, till my strength all spent
I knew at last that thou or love or fate
Had conquered and repentance was too late.

I enjoyed viewing this picture. You've created an image that produces line, shape and form in excellent detail. The use of space here, draws the subject into focus for the Viewer by softening the near and far, while sharpening the center to accent the focal point. Pleasant picture all around. Thanks for sharing.
