LOVE ON THE MOUNTAIN, by THOMAS BOYD First Line: My love comes down from the mountain Last Line: Till the dusk of my day. Subject(s): Love | ||||||||
MY love comes down from the mountain Through the mists of dawn; I look, and the star of the morning From the sky is gone. My love comes down from the mountain, At dawn, dewy-sweet; Did you step from the star to the mountain, O little white feet? O whence came your twining tresses And your shining eyes, But out of the gold of the morning And the blue of the skies? The misty mountain is burning In the sun's red fire, And the heart in my breast is burning And lost in desire. I follow you into the valley But no word can I say; To the East or the West I will follow Till the dusk of my day. | 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 |
