WEEPING AND KISSING, by EDWARD SHERBURNE Poet's Biography First Line: A kiss I begged, but smiling, she Last Line: Pleasure from grief. Subject(s): Love | |||
A KISS I begged, but smiling, she Denied it me; When straight, her cheeks with tears o'erflown -- Now kinder grown -- What smiling she'd not let me have She weeping gave. Then you whom scornful beauties awe, Hope yet relief; For Love (who tears from smiles) can draw Pleasure from grief. | 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 |
