A MOOD, by ISAAC ROSENBERG Poet Analysis Poet's Biography First Line: You are so light and gay Last Line: It knows where it would go. Subject(s): Beauty | |||
You are so light and gay, So slight, sweet maid -- Your limbs like leaves in play, Or beams that grasses braid; O! Joys whose jewels pray My breast to be inlaid. Frail fairy of the streets; Strong, dainty lure; For all men's eyes the sweets Whose lack makes hearts so poor; While your heart loveless beats, Light, laughing, and impure. O! Fragrant waft of flesh, Float through me so -- My limbs are in your mesh, My blood forgets to flow; Ah! Lilied meadows fresh, It knows where it would go. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...VARIATIONS: 14 by CONRAD AIKEN DIVINELY SUPERFLUOUS BEAUTY by ROBINSON JEFFERS THE BEAUTY OF THINGS by ROBINSON JEFFERS HOPE IS NOT FOR THE WISE by ROBINSON JEFFERS LIFE FROM THE LIFELESS by ROBINSON JEFFERS REARMAMENT by ROBINSON JEFFERS SHANE ONEILLS CAIRN by ROBINSON JEFFERS A BALLAD OF WHITECHAPEL by ISAAC ROSENBERG |
