My hand is lonely for your clasping, dear;
My ear is tired waiting for your call.
I want your strength to help, your laugh to cheer;
Heart, soul and senses need you, one and all.
I droop without your full, frank sympathy;
We ought to be together - you and I;
We want each other so, to comprehend
The dream, the hope, things planned, or seen, or wrought.
Companion, comforter and guide and friend,
As much as love asks love, does thought ask thought.
Life is so short, so fast the lone hours fly,
We ought to be together, you and I.

The poem is telling one, that the narrator is in love and wants the love of the other. In the beginning, the person is lonely and is waiting for his love to help him and to help him feel better. the author writes that the narrator wants the two to be together.
I thought this poem to be very sweet. The fact that the man, or atleast I am assuming it's a man, is really in love with the this woman. I believe that he wants her in his life very much. In the poem it says "Companion, comforter and guide and friend," - this I thought was very sweet and showed that he really does love her. It also says "Life is so short, so fast the lone hours fly," - This is very true. I believe this is saying that people need to just take chances, because life is too short to always be careful about everything. Basically, everything deserves a chance. And that if you do not give it a chance, the chance with fly by and will not come again. I believe it is saying to take chances on love, because if nobody took any chances, there would be a serious population decrease because no one would get together. No one would find their love, if no one took a chance on someone else.
Anyway, one technical error I noticed is on the second line, I believe that there should be a comma after the word, "tired." One other thing is that when it says "does thought ask thought," I believe that there should be a question mark and not a sentence, because it asks a question. That is all I have to say. Excellent poem though.
