ROSADER'S SONNET [OR, SECOND SONETTO], by THOMAS LODGE Poet Analysis Poet's Biography First Line: Turn I my looks unto the skies Last Line: But in thy love I live and die. Subject(s): Love | |||
TURN I my looks unto the skies, Love with his arrows wounds mine eyes: If so I look upon the ground, Love then in every flower is found: Search I the shade to fly my pain, He meets me in the shades again: Want I to walk in secret grove, E'en there I meet with sacred love: If so I bathe me in the sacred spring, E'en on the brink I hear him sing: If so I meditate alone, He will be partner of my moan: If so I mourn, he weeps with me, And where I am, there will he be. When as I talk of Rosalind, The god from coyness waxeth kind: And seems in selfsame flames to fry, Because he loves as well as I: Sweet Rosalind, for pity, rue: For why? than love I am more true: He, if he speed, will quickly fly: But in thy love I live and die. | 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 ROSALIND'S MADRIGAL, FR.
