Love now no fire hath left him, We two betwixt us have divided it. Your Eyes the Light hath reft him, The heat commanding in my Heart doth sit. O! that poore Love be not for ever spoyled, Let my Heat to your Light be reconciled, So shall these flames, whose worth Now all obscured lyes (Drest in those Beames) start forth And dance before your eyes. Or else partake my flames (I care not whither) And so in mutuall Names Of Love, burne both together. | 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 APOLLO AND DAPHNE by GIAMBATTISTA MARINI BURNING TOGETHER by GIAMBATTISTA MARINI COMMANDED BY HIS MISTRESS TO WOO FOR HER by GIAMBATTISTA MARINI |
