A WOMAN'S SONNETS: 1, by WILFRID SCAWEN BLUNT Poet Analysis Poet's Biography First Line: If the past year were offered me again Last Line: Had conquered and repentance was too late. Subject(s): Love - Complaints | ||||||||
IF the past year were offered me again, With choice of good and ill before me set. Should I be wiser for the bliss and pain And dare to choose that we had never met? Could I find heart those happy hours to miss, When love began unthought of and unspoke That first strange day when by a sudden kiss We knew each other's secret and awoke? Ah, no! not even to escape the smart Of that fell agony I underwent, Flying from thee and my own traitor heart, Till doubts and dreads and battlings overspent, I knew at last that thou or love or fate Had conquered and repentance was too late. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...TALKING RICHARD WILSON BLUES, BY RICHARD CLAY WILSON by DENIS JOHNSON THE BRIDGE by ALEXANDER ANDERSON THE RABBI'S SON-IN-LAW by SABINE BARING-GOULD MISGIVINGS by WILLIAM MATTHEWS THROUGH AGONY: 1 by CLAUDE MCKAY HEMATITE HEIRLOOM LIVES ON (MAYBE DECEMBER 1980) by ALICE NOTLEY QUICK AND BITTER by YEHUDA AMICHAI ESTHER; A YOUNG MAN'S TRAGEDY: 50 by WILFRID SCAWEN BLUNT ESTHER; A YOUNG MAN'S TRAGEDY: 51 by WILFRID SCAWEN BLUNT THE LOVE SONNETS OF PROTEUS: 110.
