IHAVE loved thee, Elsinore, Since the yellow crocus budded, Since the world with light was flooded, In the green of springtime hooded, -- Three long years ago, and more, I have loved thee, Elsinore. I shall love thee, Elsinore; While the moaning billows tumble, While the distant thunders rumble, I shall be thy lover humble; I shall love thee and adore, I shall love thee, Elsinore. Smile upon me, Elsinore; Say not that thou canst not love me, Place not others' charms above me, Let the proof of union prove me, -- None can love as I adore; Smile upon me, Elsinore. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...WHY I MIGHT GO TO THE NEXT FOOTBALL GAME by DENIS JOHNSON THE POOL by ALEXANDER ANDERSON COZY APOLOGIA; FOR FRED by RITA DOVE YOU NOW HOLDING THIS BOOK IN HAND by ALICE NOTLEY FALLING IN LOVE IN SPAIN OR MEXICO by RON PADGETT WHEN LOVE WAS BORN by SARA TEASDALE CANDIDA by BENJAMIN APTHORP GOULD JR. |
