FOUND, by JOHANNA AMBROSIUS Poet's Biography First Line: How long, how long for thee I've sought Last Line: In thee is life, soul, heaven! Subject(s): Love | |||
HOW long, how long for thee I've sought, Until now never finding! But since thy word hath comfort brought, On my wound balm't is binding. The fiery flush of joy's first thrill Through all my being's glowing; My woe has fled, want, every ill, My bliss full health bestowing. My soul doth now no longer rove; Upon thy heart't is resting, Sweeps proudly through thy sea of love, Knows only mirth and jesting. Within thy arms it falls asleep, A thousand kisses giving, Reflected in thine eyes so deep As't were in sunshine living. My burning thirst is now appeased, My boat in harbor's lying; In love's cloak wrapped, all suff'ring eased, To sleep I'm joyous flying. Thou mine, I thine forevermore, What grief could torture me, when Of all my bliss the inmost core In thee is life, soul, heaven! | 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 |
