If Blame Be My Side Forfeit Me - meaning Summary
Loss Worse Than Blame
The speaker insists that personal blame or punishment may fall upon them, but they plead not to be cut off from the beloved. To be separated from that person is presented as a fate worse than any penalty—equivalent to losing one’s faith and sense of home. The poem compresses a moral choice: accept guilt or accept exile from the central human anchor of belief and intimacy.
