O the burden, the burden of love ungiven,
The weight of laughter unshed,
O heavy caresses,
unblown tendernesses,
O love-words unsung and unsaid.
O the burden, the burden of love unspoken,
The cramp of silence close-furled,
To lips that would utter,
to hands that would scatter
Love’s seed on the paths of the world.
O the heavy burden of love ungiven : My breast doth this burden bear;
Deep in my bosom the unblown blossom
My world-love that withers there.
(A rather famous poem for which I know not the title nor author)
(don't let your world-love wither)
