ARMENIAN LOVE SONG, by WILLIAM A. DRAKE First Line: And if the petals of the evening rose Last Line: Or kneel to god in prayer? Subject(s): Love | |||
And if the petals of the evening rose stole not for loveliness the hue that glows upon your cheek, who should the roses seek? And if the blue of happy evening skies were not the impenetrable fastness of your eyes, who would delight to linger till the night? And were you, dear, less innocent and pure, how should I my vast weariness endure, or find you fair, or kneel to God in prayer? | 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 |
