Poet Analysis

First Line: NOW, / LIKE THE PINES INTONING
Last Line: MAY SUP.
Subject(s): LOVE;

Now,
Like the pines intoning
Though some solitary gloom,
My errant thoughts go pattering
About love's ancient tomb,
And though no breath of incense rare
Lies round the shattered cup,
A banquet weird, the fragments
Where the ghost of love
May sup.
