“For what as easy …” by W. H. Auden 🇬🇧🇺🇸 (21 Feb 1907 – 29 Sep 1973)
For what as easy
For what thought small,
For what is well
Because between,
To you simply
From me I mean.
​
Who goes with who
The bedclothes say,
As I and you
Go kissed away,
The data given,
The senses even.
​
Fate is not late,
Nor the speech rewritten,
Nor one word forgotten,
Said at the start
About heart,
By heart, for heart.
