OFFERING, by GEORGIA DOUGLAS JOHNSON Poet Analysis Poet's Biography First Line: I seek no token of you dear Last Line: Love's flower on your breast. Alternate Author Name(s): Tremaine, John Subject(s): Love | |||
I seek no token of you dear I only ask to give The purple flower of my heart And you will let it live. I ask no fealty or plight, I only pray that you May find earth's barren places bright Perhaps, because it grew. And when for you the final sun Moves toward the darkening West, I shall be lingering to place Love's flower on your breast. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE INVENTION OF LOVE by MATTHEA HARVEY TWO VIEWS OF BUSON by ROBERT HASS A LOVE FOR FOUR VOICES: HOMAGE TO FRANZ JOSEPH HAYDN by ANTHONY HECHT AN OFFERING FOR PATRICIA by ANTHONY HECHT LATE AFTERNOON: THE ONSLAUGHT OF LOVE by ANTHONY HECHT |
