VISIONS: 1, by HEINRICH HEINE Poet's Biography First Line: Of love's wild glow I dreamt in former days Last Line: An airy breath to that dim shade I blow. Subject(s): Dreams; Love; Nightmares | ||||||||
OF love's wild glow I dreamt in former days, Of mignonette, fair locks, and myrtle twining, Of lips so sweet, with bitter words combining, Of mournful melodies of mournful lays. Those dreams have long been scatter'd far and banish'd, My dearest vision fled for evermore, And, save the burning glow I used to pour Into my tender numbers, all is vanish'd. Thou ling'rest still, deserted song! Now go, And seek that long-lost vision; shouldst thou meet it, On my behalf in loving fashion greet it, -- An airy breath to that dim shade I blow. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...VARIATIONS: 14 by CONRAD AIKEN VARIATIONS: 18 by CONRAD AIKEN LIVE IT THROUGH by DAVID IGNATOW A DREAM OF GAMES by JOSEPHINE JACOBSEN THE DREAM OF WAKING by RANDALL JARRELL APOLOGY FOR BAD DREAMS by ROBINSON JEFFERS GIVE YOUR WISH LIGHT by ROBINSON JEFFERS |
