SOUTH Wind, South Wind, Find you my love for me. She trod last night the moon wove bridge Of light that spanned the sea. Soft elfin strains to greet her Upon your zephyrs stole, And my heart went out to meet her, The Dream Maid of my soul. South Wind, South Wind, Seek you my fairy Queen. Her robes are mists of filmy light All girt with starry sheen. Soft dusky tresses flowing As clouds that woo the night, Half veiling and half showing The glories of her light. South Wind, South Wind, I saw the heavens shine Within her eyes deep pools of love; Her lips were pres't to mine. A thousand harps seemed ringing Some wondrous tender lay, And, on the music winging, My love hath flown away. South Wind, South Wind, Fly to my love for me; And whisper low thy lover waits By the bridge that spans the sea. Then, by her lips' soft token And the story in her eyes, We'll tread ere yet 'tis broken The path to Paradise. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE LAST WILL AND TESTAMENT OF THE OLD GREY MARE by MOTHER GOOSE THE ROSARY by ROBERT CAMERON ROGERS KNOWLEDGE by HENRY DAVID THOREAU POVERTY PARTS GUDE COMPANIE by JOANNA BAILLIE TO SIR JOHN SPENSER KNIGHTE, ALDERMAN OF LONDON by RICHARD BARNFIELD IN EXAMINATION by RUPERT BROOKE |
