Tell me how oft thou hast with serious voice Vow'd for thy love no harm I should endure? Tell me if erst thou didst not like thy choice, And with thy vows didst crown our nuptials sure? Tell me if once upon those blessed stairs, The stairs my thought that guided unto Heaven, When I surprised by thee unawares, Had there thy love's assurance fully given; Or if thou wilt not tell, yet say in this, If I have spoke, or wrote a word amiss. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE CHARACTER OF A GOOD PARSON by GEOFFREY CHAUCER THE SERGEANT'S WEDDIN' by RUDYARD KIPLING IMMORTALITY [OR, VERSE] by WALTER SAVAGE LANDOR A CRADLE SONG by WILLIAM BUTLER YEATS TRAVELLER BY NIGHT, SELECTION by JOANNA BAILLIE IN MEMORIAM, A.H. by MAURICE BARING |
