SONNET (4), by CHARLES COTTON Poet Analysis Poet's Biography First Line: Why dost thou say thy heart is gone Last Line: No, no, ourselves are still the same. Subject(s): Love | |||
WHY dost thou say thy heart is gone, And no more mine, no more thine own? But, past retrieve, for ever wed, By sacred vow, t' another's bed? Why dost thou tell me that I lie Bound in the same perplexed tie, And that our now divided souls Are cold, and distant as the poles? Do'st thou not know, when first our Loves Were plighted in the secret groves, Our hearts were chang'd with equal flame, Say, Chloris, then how can it be? Could'st thou give me, or I give thee? No, no, ourselves are still the same. | 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 AN EPITAPH ON M.H. by CHARLES COTTON LAURA SLEEPING; ODE by CHARLES COTTON RESOLUTION OF A POETICAL QUESTION CONCERNING FOUR RURAL SISTERS: 2 by CHARLES COTTON |
