SATYRIC LYRIC, by E. B. CROSSWHITE First Line: You say that, by a newer wooer Last Line: Mabel. | |||
You say that, by a newer Wooer, Your heart has been invaded, Raided; Unguessing that my harder Ardor Might possibly have faded, Jaded. Long intervals I've waited, Sated, To (rather than resist you) Tryst you; And, as you termed hot courting Sporting, I've often, to assist you, Kissed you. One knows, apart from college Knowledge, That love is but an able Fable... And so, at this impending Ending I feel entirely stable, Mabel. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...A LIFE'S PARALLELS by CHRISTINA GEORGINA ROSSETTI STEAMBOATS, VIADUCTS, AND RAILWAYS by WILLIAM WORDSWORTH CHOEPHOROI: ORESTES GOES MAD by AESCHYLUS ICED BRANCHES by KENNETH SLADE ALLING BIRDS OF PASSAGE: PRELUDE by MATHILDE BLIND AN OLD SONG by SOLOMON BLOOMGARDEN A WOMAN'S SONNETS: 4 by WILFRID SCAWEN BLUNT |
