GAZE, NOW by WALTER JOHN DE LA MARE

Poet Analysis

First Line: GAZE, NOW, THY FILL, BEGUILING FACE
Last Line: ALL BEAUTY HATH TO TELL.

Gaze, now, thy fill, beguiling face,
Life which all light and hue bestows
Stealeth at last from youth its grace,
From cheek its firstling rose.

Dark are those tresses; grave that brow;
Drink, happy mouth, from Wisdom's well;
Bid the strange world to sigh thee now
All beauty hath to tell.
