LOVE AND A DAY, by MADISON JULIUS CAWEIN Poet's Biography First Line: In girandoles of gladioles Last Line: "all on a summer's morning." Subject(s): Love | |||
IN girandoles of gladioles The day had kindled flame; And Heaven a door of gold and pearl Unclosed when Morning like a girl, A red rose twisted in a curl Down sapphire stairways came. Said I to Love: "What must I do? What shall I do? What can I do?" Said I to Love: "What must I do? All on a summer's morning." Said Love to me: "Go woo, go woo." Said Love to me: "Go woo, If she be milking, follow, O! And in the clover hollow, O! While through the dew the bells clang clear, Just whisper it into her ear, All on a summer's morning." | 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 KU KLUX by MADISON JULIUS CAWEIN |
