STANZAS, by MATHURIN REGNIER Poet's Biography First Line: Since thyne eye so ardently ashine with love's own splendour Last Line: Come, why not love me, sweet? Subject(s): Love | |||
SINCE thyne eye so ardently ashine with love's own splendour First within my loyal heart hath kindled all of tender, Since, as tho' a saintly star, I worship at thy feet, Come, why not love me, Sweet? Since thy loveliness that erstwhile renders thee unyielding Must, like any wither'd flower under grass for shielding, Shrink from savage tempests storming after summer's heat, Come, why not love me, Sweet? Wilt thou let thyne eye begetting all of love's warm pleasure Be to thy sweet self no other than a useless treasure? Since Love like a god in every living heart doth beat, Come, why not love me, Sweet? Dost thou wait a distant morrowe for thy deare regretting? Thus thou wilt with fortune's hazard tease my lorn heart's frettynge. Since in a so mellowe season our two lives do meet, Come, why not love me, Sweet? If thy beauty be so great that there be none comparing, Heaven not created it for my poor heart's despairing, Since meseems it hath compassion when we do entreat, Come, why not love me, Sweet? | 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 CONFESSION IN BRIEF by MATHURIN REGNIER |
