THE SKAITH OF GUILLARDUN: 91, by CHARLES WHITWORTH WYNNE First Line: This fragrant herb it forced upon the tongue Last Line: Between her rival's lips the lady set. Alternate Author Name(s): Cayzer, Charles Subject(s): Flowers; Love | ||||||||
This fragrant herb it forced upon the tongue Of its drowsed love, which rathly did revive And perkily upon her helpmate hung: He capers in high joy to see her live. Athwart the forest aisles they blithely sprung, Discarding the fair flower of Love's reprieve. A petal of that rosy amulet Between her rival's lips the lady set. | 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 DULL DAY IN SEPTEMBER by CHARLES WHITWORTH WYNNE |
