TO A SPIRIT (2) by EDMUND CHARLES BLUNDEN

Poet Analysis

First Line: THE YOUNG SPRING NIGHT IN ALL HER VIRTUE WALKS
Last Line: POOR CHEATING FOLLY, SHOULD I WAIT ON YOU?
Subject(s): LOVE;
THE young spring night in all her virtue walks;
I never knew myself so fallen in love.
And she is kind; her eyes reveal it, where
Soft blue she gazes through the windowed woods.
Her touch is seraph sense; within it glide
Primrosy coolness, bluebell-trembling shyness,
Violet-benediction; if she speaks,
It is a sigh unbosomed with such music
That far and wide the forests and the farms
Whisper, Arouse; 'tis God.
Having this love,
Poor cheating Folly, should I wait on you?
