DECIMA: 1, by GEORGE SANTAYANA Poet Analysis Poet's Biography First Line: There's no love like hopeless love Last Line: Carried me from earth to heaven. Subject(s): Love - Nature Of | |||
There's no love like hopeless love When the sin of it is shriven, And from thought of pleasure driven, Love itself grows sweet above All the joys it dreameth of. So my soul by loss hath thriven, For the wayward god, forgiven, Gave me back, the subtle thief, Peace, and on the wings of grief Carried me from earth to heaven. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...RESCUE THE DEAD by DAVID IGNATOW BUTTERFLIES UNDER PERSIMMON by MARK JARMAN CHAMBER MUSIC: 27 by JAMES JOYCE CHAMBER MUSIC: 28 by JAMES JOYCE CHAMBER MUSIC: 30 by JAMES JOYCE HE WHO KNOWS LOVE by ELSA BARKER LOVE'S HUMBLENESS by ELSA BARKER SONG (IN THE LUCKY CHANCE) by APHRA BEHN |
