III.

 

        How tired we feel, my heart and I !

        We seem of no use in the world ; 

        Our fancies hang grey and uncurled

        About men's eyes indifferently ; 

        Our voice which thrilled you so, will let

        You sleep ; our tears are only wet : 

        What do we here, my heart and I ? 


                ~ Elizabeth Barrett Browning
