PHILLIS is my only joy Faithless as the wind or seas; Sometimes coming, sometimes coy, Yet she never fails to please. If with a frown I am cast down, Phillis, smiling And beguilling, Makes me happier than before. Though, alas! too late I find Nothing can her fancy fix; Yet the moment she is kind I forgive her all her tricks; Which though I see, I can't get free; She deceiving, I believing, What need lovers wish for more? | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...HEROIC LOVE by JAMES GRAHAM (1612-1650) THE WHITE SHIPS AND THE RED by ALFRED JOYCE KILMER ROBIN REDBREAST by MOTHER GOOSE SONNET WRITTEN IN THE FALL OF 1914: 3 by GEORGE EDWARD WOODBERRY A BIT OF MULL by FREDERICK HENRY HERBERT ADLER |
