Now at the last gasp of love’s latest breath，
When， his pulse failing， passion speechless lies，
When faith is kneeling by his bed of death，
And innocence is closing up his eyes—
Now if thou would’st， when all have given him over，
From death to life thou might’st him yet recover！
作品赏析
本诗中，主人公看似已经从爱中解脱，实际上仍对过去充满眷恋，特别是临别时的最后一吻，无不诉说着主人公的不舍，其中的一句“曾经的诺言跪在床角，无辜合上了他的双眼”，表达了主人公对爱的“不愿瞑目”，结尾则吐露出主人公的真情实感！
