NIL ADMIRARI, by MARY TUCKER First Line: Lute, that too quick replies Last Line: Heart, take root nevermore. Subject(s): Lutes; Music & Musicians | ||||||||
Lute, that too quick replies To cunning fingers -- Rose, that in darkening skies Flushes -- and lingers -- Swallow, that seeks to bide In the hawk's nest -- Door, that too soon swings wide To curious guest -- Bough, that drops ready fruits To the rude hand -- Heart, that sets trustful roots In thorns and sand -- Still, lute; fade, rose; shut, door; Heart, take root nevermore. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...LINER NOTES TO AN IMAGINARY PLAYLIST by TERRANCE HAYES VARIATIONS: 13 by CONRAD AIKEN BELIEVE, BELIEVE by BOB KAUFMAN ROUND ABOUT MIDNIGHT by BOB KAUFMAN MUSIC by CHARLOTTE FISKE BATES THE POWER OF MUSIC by CHARLOTTE FISKE BATES EPITAPH ON THE LADY MARY VILLIERS [OR VILLERS] (2) by THOMAS CAREW SONNET TO A FRIEND WHO ASKED, HOW I FELT ...
