THE BROKEN FLOWER, by FELICIA DOROTHEA HEMANS Poet Analysis Poet's Biography First Line: Oh! Wear it on thy heart, my love! Last Line: Cherished, alas! Too late! Alternate Author Name(s): Browne, Felicia Dorothea Subject(s): Flowers | ||||||||
OH! wear it on thy heart, my love! Still, still a little while! Sweetness is lingering in its leaves, Though faded be their smile. Yet, for the sake of what hath been, Oh, cast it not away! 'Twas born to grace a summer scene, A long, bright, golden day, My love! A long, bright, golden day. A little while around thee, love! Its fragrance yet shall cling, Telling, that on thy heart hath lain A fair, though faded thing. But not even that warm heart hath power To win it back from fate, -- Oh! I am like thy broken flower, Cherished too late, too late, My love! Cherished, alas! too late! | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THEY SAW THE PROBLEM by MARK JARMAN SHAKE THE SUPERFLUX! by DAVID LEHMAN THE M??TIER OF BLOSSOMING by DENISE LEVERTOV TANKA DIARY (6) by HARRYETTE MULLEN VARIATIONS: 17 by CONRAD AIKEN FORCED BLOOM by STEPHEN ELLIOTT DUNN A DIRGE (1) by FELICIA DOROTHEA HEMANS |
