I HAVE LOVED, by JOHANNA AMBROSIUS Poet's Biography First Line: I have drunk deep of the flaming Last Line: "yes, yes! I have loved, have loved!" Subject(s): Love | |||
I HAVE drunk deep of the flaming Sun's all-consuming glow; I've lain absorbed in dreaming 'Neath the moonbeams silv'ry flow. On tempestuous winds, wild roaring, Over all the world I've sped, And, heaven's blue vault exploring, The stars have my playmates made. The songs elves and nixies were singing Reached me in notes sweet and clear, And clouds, their soft hues mingling In roseate tints, floated near. Then joined moon and sun in the asking: Was aught more fair where I roved? I answered, in joy's rapture basking, "Yes, yes! I have loved, have loved!" | 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 |
