HEART'S FIRST WORD (2), by ISAAC ROSENBERG Poet Analysis Poet's Biography First Line: And all her soft dark hair Last Line: Of kisses to be kist. Subject(s): Love; Soldiers' Writings | ||||||||
And all her soft dark hair Breathed for him like a prayer, And her white lost face Was prisoned to some far place. Love was not denied -- Love's ends would hide, And flower and fruit and tree Were under its sea. Yea, its abundance knelt Where the nerves felt The springs of feeling flow And made pain grow! There seemed no root or sky, But a pent infinity Where apparitions dim Sculptured each whim In flame and wandering mist Of kisses to be kist. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...A CARELESS HEART by ISAAC ROSENBERG A GIRL'S THOUGHTS by ISAAC ROSENBERG DAWN BEHIND NIGHT by ISAAC ROSENBERG |
