WOULD BE MORE THAN KIN, by RAY CLARKE ROSE First Line: My lady is most fair and kind Last Line: I cannot bear to be your brother! Subject(s): Beauty; Brothers And Sisters; Incest; Man-woman Relationships; Male-female Relations | ||||||||
My Lady is most fair and kind When on the meads we stroll together, And breezy as the balmy wind And smiling as the sunny weather. The sun entangles in her hair, Her eyes reflect the skies above her, And tulips blush and blossom where There are two lips for some true lover. My Lady wears a muslin gown That flutters in a way engaging, And when she romps across the down She knows she sets my pulses raging; For her light feet are swift, indeed In fact, I know no maid to match her And, though I race with all my speed, I find, alas! I cannot catch her. My Lady's white, bejeweled hands Are fragile as they are entrancing, And still the reins she understands, And holds while steedsand menare dancing. Dear lady mine, will you be kind, And give the ribbons to another And me your handfor, oh, I find I cannot bear to be your brother! | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...MISERY AND SPLENDOR by ROBERT HASS THE APPLE TREES AT OLEMA by ROBERT HASS DOUBLE SONNET by ANTHONY HECHT CONDITIONS XXI by ESSEX HEMPHILL CALIFORNIA SORROW: MOUNTAIN VIEW by MARY KINZIE SUPERBIA: A TRIUMPH WITH NO TRAIN by MARY KINZIE COUNSEL TO UNREASON by LEONIE ADAMS TWENTY QUESTIONS by DAVID LEHMAN A BACHELOR'S VALENTINE by RAY CLARKE ROSE |
