OH, MY being, opening into the dazzle of sunrise! Where are you blowing me, trumpets? What blast of music am I, striding the wind? I took the hand of my beloved, and I was satisfied. I kissed his lips, and the stone of my heart became a song. I kissed his lips, and was born again. Love, now I know thee! I have looked into thine eyes, Splendor: I have kissed thy lips, golden boy... Bear me to the ends of the earth, Drown me in oceans, Crush me beneath granite mountains: I give all, I render myself up, O thou, that art the breath of life: the whisper on the deeps. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE FIRE OF DRIFTWOOD; DEVEREUX FARM, NEAR MARBLEHEAD by HENRY WADSWORTH LONGFELLOW A VISION OF CONNAUGHT IN THE THIRTEENTH CENTURY by JAMES CLARENCE MANGAN TO ONE IN PARADISE by EDGAR ALLAN POE SING-SONG; A NURSERY RHYME BOOK: 114 by CHRISTINA GEORGINA ROSSETTI |
