TRIOLETS: TO HER WHOM I CALL ROSE, by ELLIOT GRAY First Line: Shall I meet you again Last Line: That I spoke thus unduly. Subject(s): Courtship | ||||||||
I. SHALL I meet you again, As I met you last night; Or must the refrain -- "Shall I meet you again?" -- Seek its answer in vain From a past all too bright? Shall I meet you again, As I met you last night? II. It was foolish, I know, But I loved you so dearly. You had laughed at my woe, -- It was foolish, I know, Not to leave you. Heigh-ho, -- Yes! I see it quite clearly; It was foolish, I know, -- But I loved you so dearly. III. So forgive me, dear Rose, That I spoke thus unduly, Love says (and he knows You'll forgive me, dear Rose) That, perhaps, if you chose, You can love me quite truly; So forgive me, dear Rose, That I spoke thus unduly. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...AS YOU WALK OUT ONE MORNING by GLYN MAXWELL TALE OF THE MAYOR'S SON by GLYN MAXWELL THE RIVALS by JAMES WELDON JOHNSON MARJORIE'S WOOING by EMMA LAZARUS THE FORTUNATE SPILL by MARILYN NELSON REQUEST TO LEDA by DYLAN THOMAS |
