?, by JOHANNA AMBROSIUS Poet's Biography First Line: What is it here within my breast Last Line: Love's melodies so rare. Subject(s): Love | |||
WHAT is it here within my breast Keeps springing, rushing, flowing? The sounds both grief and joy suggest, Like palms in soft winds blowing. 'T is like the lark's exultant strain In blue spring heavens soaring, And organ tones in holy fane Through Christmas incense pouring. It is a jubilant accord Of harmonies most fair; It is -- now I have found the word -- Love's melodies so rare. | 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 |
