TWO SONNETS: 2, by GEORGE BARLOW (1847-1913) First Line: Because I do not fear thee, thou art tender Last Line: While blushes all thy vanquished face suffuse. | ||||||||
II. Because I do not fear thee, thou art tender. Just as a woman, suddenly, bestows In amplest, purest, and most sweet surrender On the strong lover all her beauty's rose, But, ever, from the weak of heart she goes, Just as her white arms round her lover cling, If only with the lordlier voice he sing, Not heeding overmuch the glance she throws: So, as thou fliest from me and glancest back, O great Lord God, not swiftly on the track I follow,knowing that were but to lose! I give thee time. Then thou shalt turn and fling Thy white arms, suddenly, around,and cling, While blushes all thy vanquished face suffuse. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...A PRAYER by GEORGE BARLOW (1847-1913) A VINDICATION by GEORGE BARLOW (1847-1913) AN ACTOR'S REMINISCENCES by GEORGE BARLOW (1847-1913) AUTUMN MESSAGES by GEORGE BARLOW (1847-1913) ENVOI: DEATH (1) by GEORGE BARLOW (1847-1913) ENVOI: DEATH (2) by GEORGE BARLOW (1847-1913) FOR EVER AND EVERMORE by GEORGE BARLOW (1847-1913) IF ONLY THOU ART TRUE by GEORGE BARLOW (1847-1913) LILIES: 1.
