A SONNET, by AMELIE RIVES Poet's Biography First Line: Take all of me, I am thine own, heart, soul Last Line: Which is my heart and for himself alone. Alternate Author Name(s): Troubetskoy, Princess | ||||||||
TAKE all of me, -- I am thine own, heart, soul, Brain, body, -- all; all that I am or dream Is thine forever; yea, though space should teem With thy conditions, I'd fulfil the whole -- Were to fulfil them to be loved of thee. Oh, love me! -- were to love me but a way To kill me -- love me; so to die would be To live forever. Let me hear thee say Once only, "Dear, I love thee," -- then all life Would be one sweet remembrance, thou its king: Nay, thou art that already, and the strife Of twenty worlds could not uncrown thee. Bring, O Time! my monarch to possess his throne Which is my heart and for himself alone. | Other Poems of Interest...BEFORE THE RAIN by AMELIE RIVES DEJECTION by ROBERT SEYMOUR BRIDGES OUR LADY by MARY ELIZABETH COLERIDGE MY OLD KENTUCKY HOME by STEPHEN COLLINS FOSTER BETROTHED ANEW by EDMUND CLARENCE STEDMAN ON LYNN TERRACE by THOMAS BAILEY ALDRICH LITTLE BERNHARD by JOHANNA AMBROSIUS ON THE DEITY by ANNA LETITIA BARBAULD OXFORD IN WAR-TIME by LAURENCE BINYON |
