AH, HAD I SEEN THEE SOONER!, by JOHANNA AMBROSIUS Poet's Biography First Line: Ah, had I thee but sooner seen Last Line: All withered on life's tree! Subject(s): Love | |||
AH, had I thee but sooner seen, Though e'en for one brief hour, That happy moment would I bless While dying lips had pow'r! Ah, had I thee but sooner loved, Thou pure light of my soul! I'd envy not the fate of those Whom angel hosts enroll. Ah, had I thee but sooner loved, Although in dreamland free, My hope's fair blossoms would not hang All withered on Life's tree! | 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 |
