FOUR METRICAL EXPERIMENTS: 4. PINDARIC by SAMUEL TAYLOR COLERIDGE

Poet Analysis

First Line: ONCE AGAIN, SWEET WILLOW, WAVE THEE!
Last Line: WHY STAYS MY LOVE?
Subject(s): PINDAR (522-440 B.C.); WILLOW TREES;
Once again, sweet Willow, wave thee!
Why stays my Love?
Bend, and in yon streamlet -- lave thee!
Why stays my Love?
Oft have I at evening straying,
Stood, thy branches long surveying,
Graceful in the light breeze, playing, --
Why stays my Love?
