To His Mistress Comments

beautiful... lovely words..

Powerfully and movingly penned....

Thou art my way; I wander if thou fly. Thou art my light; if hid, how blind am I! Thou art my life; if thou withdraw'st, I die. These poetic expressions is just love; love by heart to his mistress; great to read

Very emotional poem here... like it

I live I move by thy beams I see.....beautiful poem. Love is eternal!

A timeless work of pure unadulterated love, pity for the wife.

Wow! such an inspiring poem. I like it

See, see how I am blind, and dead, and stray! -O thou art my life, my light, my way! ...... So simple was the life once to cry for a 'Thou'..... today days and passions are hungry enough to cry for thoulessness!

Great! Proud that this man was born in the same county as I.

some what classic poem and liked its beauty and contents.

Definite Classic. Like Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet and Bronte's tragic Wuthering Heights. Mystical, fable-like feel.

A beautiful poem that can people can still relate to today, centuries later. This poem help's to prove that love is, and alway's will be, true and strong and will survive anything.

What a lovely, romantic lines of love as his light!

Beautiful poem about his mistress shying away from him and his fear that she'll leave him. He says many times that she is his life. It is a love poem through and through, with a good rhyming pattern and simple yet effective language.

A poet in love from centuries ago, may sound corny in our times; but reading aloud Lord Wilmot's verse taps our transcendent humanity.

Good. I love the rhyme pattern

he has to have one or life isn't complete. very truthful.
