LOVE, by WILLIAM CARLOS WILLIAMS Poet's Biography
First Line: Love is twain, it is not single
Last Line: Glist'ring then for aye undone.
Subject(s): Love
First Line: Love is twain, it is not single
Last Line: Glist'ring then for aye undone.
Subject(s): Love
Love is twain, it is not single,
Gold and silver mixed in one,
Passion 'tis and pain which mingle
Glist'ring then for aye undone.
Pain it is not; wondering pity
Dies or e'er the pang is fled:
Passion 'tis not, foul and gritty,
Born one instant, instant dead.
Love is twain, it is not single,
Gold and silver mixed in one,
Passion 'tis and pain which mingle
Glist'ring then for aye undone.
