LAST NIGHT, by WARREN PEASE First Line: Last night where gladness reigned supreme Last Line: But save thy tears for me. Subject(s): Love; Night; Bedtime | ||||||||
LAST night where gladness reigned supreme, I saw thee standing fair; I saw thy white arm's rounded gleam, The rose within thy hair. Proud knees bent low, the prize to earn Fond lips with lips did strive, Whilst thou (large boon for small return) Thy careless smile didst give. Ah! love, I know't is passing sweet; Drink deep, the charm will die; While glide the hours on golden feet Thy Ganymede am I. But come when Sorrow casts its shade To arms that wait for thee; Let others have the smiles that fade, But save thy tears for me. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE BREATH OF NIGHT by RANDALL JARRELL HOODED NIGHT by ROBINSON JEFFERS NIGHT WITHOUT SLEEP by ROBINSON JEFFERS WORKING OUTSIDE AT NIGHT by DENIS JOHNSON POEM TO TAKE BACK THE NIGHT by JUNE JORDAN COOL DARK ODE by DONALD JUSTICE POEM TO BE READ AT 3 A.M by DONALD JUSTICE |
