THE LOVE SONNETS OF PROTEUS: 60. FAREWELL TO JULIET (9), by WILFRID SCAWEN BLUNT Poet Analysis Poet's Biography First Line: I see you juliet, still, with your straw hat Last Line: It was the reddest rose in all the world. Subject(s): Farewell; Love; Parting | |||
I see you, Juliet, still, with your straw hat Loaded with vines, and with your dear pale face, On which those thirty years so lightly sat, And the white outline of your muslin dress. You wore a little fichu trimmed with lace And crossed in front, as was the fashion then, Bound at your waist with a broad band or sash, All white and fresh and virginally plain. There was a sound of shouting far away Down in the valley, as they called to us, And you, with hands clasped seeming still to pray Patience of fate, stood listening to me thus With heaving bosom. There a rose lay curled. It was the reddest rose in all the world. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE THREE CHILDREN by JOSEPHINE JACOBSEN STUDY #2 FOR B.B.L. by JUNE JORDAN WATCHING THE NEEDLEBOATS AT SAN SABBA by JAMES JOYCE SESTINA: TRAVEL NOTES by WELDON KEES ESTHER; A YOUNG MAN'S TRAGEDY: 50 by WILFRID SCAWEN BLUNT ESTHER; A YOUNG MAN'S TRAGEDY: 51 by WILFRID SCAWEN BLUNT THE LOVE SONNETS OF PROTEUS: 110.
