Four winds and seven seas have called me friend, And countless roads have known my restless feet; Deep crystal springs and pollened buds were sweet For sustenance their princely fare to lend, While nameless birds from grove and blossomed bend Deluged my soul with song; if it were meet To love Life so, then Love will but complete My joy, for Life with Love can never end. Love, I have heard the sweet of your voice, have seen You pass the dawn-flushed singing hills between; Now suppliant I kneel and pray you show The mercied sceptre favored Esther saw; The dawn in me has broke, and well I know That Love is king and creed and Persian Law. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...ARIZONA POEMS: 4.
