THE YOUNG INTELLECTUAL TO HIS LOVE, by STODDARD KING First Line: Oh, come with me, and we will try Last Line: With thoughts, impeccably expressed. Subject(s): Love - Beginnings | ||||||||
Oh, come with me, and we will try The Great Experiment, you and I, And each fulfill our several missions Free from the usual inhibitions. Oh, come with me and be my mate, And we forthwith will emigrate To countries which, I am advised, Are more completely civilized. You may express, for all of me, Your Individuality; Your freedom I will not restrain, Nor take your Maiden Name in vain. And since our plane lies far above The crass vulgarities of Love, Our union surely will be blessed With Thoughts, impeccably expressed. | 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 IF THE AUTHOR OF 'IN AMERICAN' HAD SPENT HIS VACATION WITH HORACE ON by STODDARD KING LAMENT IN FORM OF AN EPIGRAM by STODDARD KING POSTMASTER-GENERAL WILL HAYS ENTERS INTO HOLLYWOOD by STODDARD KING |
