LOVE A SPIRIT, by PHILIP AYRES Poet's Biography First Line: I told jacinta t'other day Last Line: And I can feel him on your lips. Subject(s): Love | ||||||||
I TOLD Jacinta t'other day, As in a pleasant bow'r we sate, Sporting and chatting time away, Of Love, and of I know not what; That Love's a spirit, some maintain, From whom (say they) we're seldom free; He gives us both delight and pain, Yet him we neither touch, nor see. But when I view (said I) your eyes, I can perceive he thither skips, He now about them hov'ring flies, And I can feel him on your lips. | 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 ON A FAIR BEGGAR by PHILIP AYRES |
