HER SECRET IS BETRAYED, by WILFRID SCAWEN BLUNT Poet Analysis Poet's Biography First Line: Once on a happy time you said to me Last Line: That grief for you no longer grieves my heart. Subject(s): Love - Loss Of; Secrets | ||||||||
ONCE on a happy time you said to me "Give me your soul, O give me, dear, your soul"; And I, who thought not of that other toll, Gave with it too my body utterly. This rhymèd love you left me, my sole fee, Which I must treasure; and the dear-bought scroll I laid away with all my life to be. To-day you take it from me, my poor rhyme, And lightly ask me, "Why these foolish tears?" You give the world my secret"it was time. What can it matter after all these years?" Ay. What in truth? Yet herein lies the smart, That grief for you no longer grieves my heart. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...AT THE MUSEE RODIN IN PARIS by LAURE-ANNE BOSSELAAR CHANEL NO. 5 by LAURE-ANNE BOSSELAAR EXISTING LIGHT; FOR LEE NYE by MADELINE DEFREES GRETA GARBO AND THE STAR MESSENGER by MADELINE DEFREES ELSINORE IN THE LATE ANCIENT AUTUMN by NORMAN DUBIE MARGARET'S SPEECH by NORMAN DUBIE THE PARALLAX MONOGRAPH FOR RODIN by NORMAN DUBIE THE TREES OF MADAME BLAVATSKY by NORMAN DUBIE 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.
