Yearning

Wish I had not weaned to behold Wish I had powers to mould Or bold enough to behold In history would I intervene And help it rewrite the scene From books would I take away ink And ink them again to better the scene I would side with Priam And have him rule with love I would drive away from the beast And perch the dove I would take away powers from Achilles Lend strength to Hector he wouldn't bow I would return Princess to Achilles To make no row I would have Faustus ask for more Would have Mephistopheles all that ignore I would have Arthur take back Hester Have Hester take off that did glister I would have encouraged Cathy Heathcliff love And taken it to new heights above For Romeo and Juliet, I would arrange a tryst And conceal the affair with the shroud of mist I would play the flute to please their ears But what is all this worth? If I don't get love from my dears
