LOST FOR A ROSE'S SAKE, by ANONYMOUS First Line: I laved my hands Last Line: That my love marie / might love me yet Subject(s): Hearts;love - Complaints;pain; Suffering;misery | ||||||||
I LAVED my hands, By the water side; With the willow leaves My hands I dried. The nightingale sung On the bough of the tree; Sing, sweet nightingale, It is well with thee. Thou hast heart's delight, I have sad heart's sorrow For a false, false maid That will wed to-morrow. 'Tis all for a rose, That I gave her not, And I would that it grew In the garden plot. And I would the rose-tree Were still to set, That my love Marie Might love me yet. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...PARTHENOPHIL AND PARTHENOPHE: MADRIGAL 14 by BARNABE BARNES SONNETS IN SHADOWS: 1 by ARLO BATES IN PRAISE OF PAIN by HEATHER MCHUGH THE SYMPATIZERS by JOSEPHINE MILES LEEK STREET by LAURE-ANNE BOSSELAAR TIS A LITTLE JOURNEY by ANONYMOUS |
