AT ALTENAHR, by THOMAS ASHE Poet's Biography First Line: Came, on a sabbath noon, my sweet Last Line: But -- meet no angels, pansie? Variant Title(s): Meet Me No Angels, Pansie? Subject(s): Altenahr, Germany | |||
CAME, on a Sabbath noon, my sweet, In white, to find her lover; The grass grew proud beneath her feet, The green elm-leaves above her: -- Meet we no angels, Pansie? She said, 'We meet no angels now'; And soft lights stream'd upon her; And with white hand she touch'd a bough; She did it that great honour: -- What! meet no angels, Pansie? O sweet brown hat, brown hair, brown eyes, Down-dropp'd brown eyes, so tender! Then what said I? Gallant replies Seem flattery, and offend her: -- But -- meet no angels, Pansie? | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...A WORD TO THE WEST END by THOMAS ASHE BY THE SALPETRIERE by THOMAS ASHE TO TWO BEREAVED by THOMAS ASHE THE COMPLAINT OF THE FAIR ARMOURESS by FRANCOIS VILLON PEREGRINUS by LASCELLES ABERCROMBIE |
