SONG, by ALFRED AUSTIN Poet Analysis Poet's Biography First Line: Go talk to her, sweet flower Last Line: Keep you, sweet flower, alive. Subject(s): Love; Flowers | ||||||||
I. Go talk to her, sweet flower, To whom I fain would talk; Tell her I hour by hour Pine on my own poor stalk. II. Tell her that I should live Not quite so sore distressed, If she to you would give A throne upon her breast. III. Tell her that should she hie To my parched plot to see If I be dead, that I No more should withered be. IV. If I were dead, her feet My spirit would revive, As may her bosom sweet Keep you, sweet flower, alive. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THEY SAW THE PROBLEM by MARK JARMAN SHAKE THE SUPERFLUX! by DAVID LEHMAN THE M??TIER OF BLOSSOMING by DENISE LEVERTOV TANKA DIARY (6) by HARRYETTE MULLEN VARIATIONS: 17 by CONRAD AIKEN FORCED BLOOM by STEPHEN ELLIOTT DUNN |
