Come not near my songs, You who are not my lover, Lest from out that ambush Leaps my heart upon you! When my songs are glowing As an almond thicket With the bloom upon it, Lies my heart in ambush All amid my singing; Come not near my songs, You who are not my lover! Do not hear my songs, You who are not my lover! Over-sweet the heart is, Where my love has bruised it, Breathe you not that fragrance, You who are not my lover. Do not stoop above my song, With its languor on you, Lest from out my singing Leaps my heart upon you! | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...SONNET: 16 by RICHARD BARNFIELD A WAY TO A HAPPY NEW YEAR by ROBERT BREWSTER BEATTIE THE PARIAH by JAMES EDWIN CAMPBELL SONG TO ONE THAT DESIRED TO KNOW MY MISTRESS by THOMAS CAREW SERMONS IN STONES by ALICE CARY |
