Where we Differ
written by William Henry Davies
Nature Poems (1908) Link to further information




To think my thoughts all hers,
  Not one of hers is mine;
She laughs - while I must sigh;
  She sings - while I must whine.

She eats - while I must fast;
  She reads - while I am blind;
She sleeps - while I must wake;
  Free - I no freedom find.

To think the world for me
  Contains but her alone,
And that her eyes prefer
 Some ribbon, scarf, or stone.
