RONDEAU: 5, by THOMAS WYATT Recitation Poet Analysis Poet's Biography First Line: Help me to seek for I lost it there Last Line: Help me to seek. Alternate Author Name(s): Wyat, Thomas Variant Title(s): Egerton Manuscript: 17 Subject(s): Grief; Sorrow; Sadness | ||||||||
Help me to seek, for I lost it there And if that ye have found it, ye that be here, And seek to convey it secretly, Handle it soft and treat it tenderly, Or else it will plain and then appear: But rather restore it to me mannerly, Since that I do ask it thus honestly: For to lose it, it sitteth me too near. Help me to seek. Alas, and is there no remedy? But have I thus lost it wilfully? I wis it was a thing all too dear To be bestowed and wist not where: It was my heart, I pray you heartily Help me to seek. | 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 |
