TO CYNTHIA GONE INTO THE COUNTRY, by PHILIP AYRES Poet's Biography First Line: Tho' the late parting was our joint desire Last Line: Not once to sigh for what thou left'st behind. Subject(s): Farewell; Parting | ||||||||
THO' the late parting was our joint desire, It did with diff'rent passions us inspire; Thou wert o'erjoy'd, opprest with sorrow I; Thy thoughts did faster than thy footsteps fly. But tho' I strove and labour'd to depart, Spite of my feet, I follow'd with my heart; Since thus I griev'd my loss, it was unkind Not once to sigh for what thou left'st behind. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE THREE CHILDREN by JOSEPHINE JACOBSEN STUDY #2 FOR B.B.L. by JUNE JORDAN WATCHING THE NEEDLEBOATS AT SAN SABBA by JAMES JOYCE SESTINA: TRAVEL NOTES by WELDON KEES ON A FAIR BEGGAR by PHILIP AYRES |
