One word is Too Often Profaned
Poem
Poem
ONE word is too often profaned
For me to profand it,
One feeling is too fasly disdain'd
For thee to disdain it.
One hope is too like despair
For prudence to smother,
And pity from thee more dear
Than that for another.
I can give not what men call love;
But wilt thou accept not
The worship the heart lifts above
And the Heavens refect not:
The desire of te moth for the star;
Of the night for the morrow,
The devotion to something afar
From the sphere of our sorrow?

The speaker doesnt want to get their hopes up about the other person loving them back.
They would rather have pity love from that one person that they are in love with than have real love with another woman.
I can give not what men call love;
But wilt thou accept not
The worship the heart lifts above
And the Heavens refect not:

He is not going to give her what men call love but more then that and she will not get anything less.
Hes going to worship her with an uplifting effect and god will not reject.
The desire of the moth for the star;
Of the night for the morrow,
The devotion to something afar
From the sphere of our sorrow?
