TEARS by ARTHUR WILLIAM SYMONS

Poet Analysis

First Line: O HANDS THAT I HAVE HELD IN MINE
Last Line: I BRING MY TEARS TO YOU AS WINE.
Subject(s): TEARS;

O hands that I have held in mine,
That knew my kisses and my tears,
Hands that in other years
Have poured my balm, have poured my wine,

Women, once loved, and always mine,
I call to you across the years,
I bring a gift of tears,
I bring my tears to you as wine.
