SONG, by DAVID HARTLEY COLERIDGE Poet Analysis Poet's Biography First Line: She is not fair to outward view Last Line: Than smiles of other maidens are! Alternate Author Name(s): Coleridge, Hartley Subject(s): Admiration | |||
SHE is not fair to outward view, As many maidens be; Her loveliness I never knew Until she smiled on me: O, then I saw her eye was bright, -- A well of love, a spring of light. But now her looks are coy and cold; To mine they ne'er reply; And yet I cease not to behold The love-light in her eye: Her very frowns are fairer far Than smiles of other maidens are! | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE EYE IN THE ROCK by JOHN HAINES SAN DIEGO AND MATISSE: 1.
