The Legacy by John Donne
Similar to Donne's The Expiration, he is focusing on the death of a loved one. This time, however, he is the loved one, and he is trying to get his love across to his partner. I think his closing lines are the most beautiful part of the poem. He says he wishes he could still send his heart, but it cannot be done. Nobody else can hold it but the one he is trying to send it to.
