DO THOU LOVE, TOO!, by JOHANNA AMBROSIUS Poet's Biography First Line: The waves they whisper Last Line: "do thou love, too!" Subject(s): Love | ||||||||
The waves they whisper In Laura's glance, Entrancing music For the nixies' dance. They beckon, smiling. And wavewise woo, While softly plashing: -- "Do thou love, too!" In blossoming lindens Doves fondly rear Their tender fledglings From year to year. With never a pausing, They bill and coo, And twitter gently: -- "Do thou love, too!" | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE INVENTION OF LOVE by MATTHEA HARVEY TWO VIEWS OF BUSON by ROBERT HASS A LOVE FOR FOUR VOICES: HOMAGE TO FRANZ JOSEPH HAYDN by ANTHONY HECHT AN OFFERING FOR PATRICIA by ANTHONY HECHT LATE AFTERNOON: THE ONSLAUGHT OF LOVE by ANTHONY HECHT A SWEETENING ALL AROUND ME AS IT FALLS by JANE HIRSHFIELD |
