SONG, FR. MEASURE FOR MEASURE, by WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE Poet Analysis Poet's Biography First Line: Take, o, take those lips away Last Line: Bound in those icy chains by thee. Subject(s): Disappointment; Grief; Love; Sorrow; Sadness | ||||||||
Take, O, take those lips away, That so sweetly were forsworn; And those eyes, like break of day, Lights that do mislead the morn; But my kisses bring again, Seals of love, but sealed in vain. Hide, O, hide those hills of snow Which thy frozen bosom bears, On whose tops the pinks that grow Are yet of those that April wears! But first set my poor heart free, Bound in those icy chains by thee. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...SONOMA FIRE by JANE HIRSHFIELD AS THE SPARKS FLY UPWARDS by JOHN HOLLANDER WHAT GREAT GRIEF HAS MADE THE EMPRESS MUTE by JUNE JORDAN CHAMBER MUSIC: 19 by JAMES JOYCE DIRGE AT THE END OF THE WOODS by LEONIE ADAMS AIRY NOTHINGS.
