TO PYRRHA by WALTER SAVAGE LANDOR

Poet Analysis

First Line: PYRRHA! YOUR SMILES ARE GLEAMS OF SUN
Last Line: TWENTY OF THOSE, AND TWO OF THESE.

Pyrrha! your smiles are gleams of sun
That after one another run
Incessantly, and think it fun.

Pyrrha! your tears are short sweet rain
That glimmering on the flower-lit plain
Zephyrs kiss back to heaven again.

Pyrrha! both anguish me: do please
To shed but (if you wish me ease)
Twenty of those, and two of these.
