KATHLEEN O'MORE, by GEORGE NUGENT REYNOLDS Poem Explanation First Line: My love, still I think that I see her once more Last Line: My kathleen o'more. Subject(s): Love | |||
My love, still I think that I see her once more, But, alas! she has left me her loss to deplore-- My own little Kathleen, my poor little Kathleen, My Kathleen O'More! Her hair glossy black, her eyes were dark blue, Her colour still changing, her smiles ever new-- So pretty was Kathleen, my sweet little Kathleen, My Kathleen O'More! She milked the dun cow, that ne'er offered to stir; Though wicked to all, it was gantle to her-- So kind was my Kathleen, my poor little Kathleen, My Kathleen O'More! She sat at the door one cold afternoon, To hear the wind blow, and to gaze on the moon, So pensive was Kathleen, my poor little Kathleen, My Kathleen O'More! Cold was the night-breeze that sighed round her bower, It chilled my poor Kathleen, she drooped from that hour, And I lost my poor Kathleen, my own little Kathleen, My Kathleen O'More! The bird of all birds that I love the best Is the robin that in the churchyard builds his nest; For he seems to watch Kathleen, hops lightly o'er Kathleen, My Kathleen O'More. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE INVENTION OF LOVE by MATTHEA HARVEY TWO VIEWS OF BUSON by ROBERT HASS A LOVE FOR FOUR VOICES: HOMAGE TO FRANZ JOSEPH HAYDN by ANTHONY HECHT AN OFFERING FOR PATRICIA by ANTHONY HECHT LATE AFTERNOON: THE ONSLAUGHT OF LOVE by ANTHONY HECHT A SWEETENING ALL AROUND ME AS IT FALLS by JANE HIRSHFIELD MARY LE MORE by GEORGE NUGENT REYNOLDS SPOON RIVER ANTHOLOGY: ALEXANDER THROCKMORTON by EDGAR LEE MASTERS |
