b'EB Browning read by Classic Poetry Aloud: Giving voice to the poetry of the past.\\nwww.classicpoetryaloud.com\\n\\n--------------------------------------------\\n\\nGo From Me, Sonnets from the Portuguese iii\\nby Elizabeth Barrett Browning (1806 \\u2013 1861)\\n \\nGo from me. Yet I feel that I shall stand \\n Henceforward in thy shadow. Nevermore \\n Alone upon the threshold of my door \\nOf individual life I shall command \\nThe uses of my soul, nor lift my hand \\n Serenely in the sunshine as before, \\n Without the sense of that which I forbore\\u2014 \\nThy touch upon the palm. The widest land \\nDoom takes to part us, leaves thy heart in mine \\n With pulses that beat double. What I do \\nAnd what I dream include thee, as the wine \\n Must taste of its own grapes. And when I sue \\nGod for myself, He hears that name of thine, \\n And sees within my eyes the tears of two. \\n\\n\\nFirst aired: 6 February 2008\\n\\nFor hundreds more poetry readings, visit the Classic Poetry Aloud index.\\n\\nReading \\xa9 Classic Poetry Aloud 2009'
