THE VISION TO ELECTRA, by ROBERT HERRICK Poet Analysis Poet's Biography First Line: I dream'd we both were in a bed Last Line: Love give me more such nights as these. Subject(s): Love | ||||||||
I dream'd we both were in a bed Of Roses, almost smothered: The warmth and sweetnes had me there Made lovingly familiar: But that I heard thy sweet breath say, Faults done by night, will blush by day: I kist thee (panting,) and I call Night to the Record! that was all. But ah! if empty dreames so please, Love give me more such nights as these. | 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 A CHRISTMAS CAROL, SUNG TO THE KING IN THE PRESENCE AT WHITEHALL by ROBERT HERRICK A MEDITATION FOR HIS MISTRESS by ROBERT HERRICK A TERNARIE OF LITTLES, UPON A PIPKIN OF JELLIE by ROBERT HERRICK |
