THE RECONCILEMENT, by JOHN SHEFFIELD Poet Analysis Poet's Biography First Line: Come, let us now resolve at last Last Line: Sure never is too late! Alternate Author Name(s): Buckingham & Normandy, 1st Duke Of Subject(s): Desire; Love | ||||||||
COME, let us now resolve at last To live and love in quiet; We'll tie the knot so very fast That Time shall ne'er untie it. The truest joys they seldom prove Who free from quarrels live: 'Tis the most tender part of love Each other to forgive. When least I seem'd concern'd, I took No pleasure nor no rest; And when I feign'd an angry look, Alas! I loved you best. Own but the same to me -- you'll find How blest will be our fate. O to be happy -- to be kind -- Sure never is too late! | 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 AN ESSAY UPON SATIRE by JOHN SHEFFIELD INCONSTANCY EXCUSED by JOHN SHEFFIELD ODE ON THE DEATH OF MR.
