LOVE HATH A LANGUAGE, by HELEN SELINA SHERIDAN Poet's Biography Alternate Author Name(s): Gifford, Lady; Dufferin, Lady | |||
Love hath a language for all years- Fond hieroglyphs, obscure and old- Wherein the heart reads, writ in tears, The tale which never yet was told. Love hath his meter too, to trace Those bounds which never yet were given,- To measure that which mocks at space, Is deep as death, and high as heaven. Love hath his treasure hoards, to pay True faith, or goodly service done,- Dear priceless nothings, which outweigh All riches that the sun shines on. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...DUBLIN BAY by HELEN SELINA SHERIDAN TERENCE'S FAREWELL by HELEN SELINA SHERIDAN CHARMING WOMAN by HELEN SELINA SHERIDAN MOTHER'S LAMENT by HELEN SELINA SHERIDAN TO MY DEAR SON by HELEN SELINA SHERIDAN SPOON RIVER ANTHOLOGY: EPILOGUE by EDGAR LEE MASTERS PLEASURE MIXED WITH PAIN by THOMAS WYATT A SONG FROM THE COPTIC by JOHANN WOLFGANG VON GOETHE THE GRAVES OF A HOUSEHOLD by FELICIA DOROTHEA HEMANS DRAKE'S DRUM by HENRY JOHN NEWBOLT |
