Where We Differ

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