TO A SPIRIT (2), by EDMUND CHARLES BLUNDEN Poet Analysis Poet's Biography First Line: The young spring night in all her virtue walks Last Line: Poor cheating folly, should I wait on you? Alternate Author Name(s): Blunden, Edmund Subject(s): Love | ||||||||
THE young spring night in all her virtue walks; I never knew myself so fallen in love. And she is kind; her eyes reveal it, where Soft blue she gazes through the windowed woods. Her touch is seraph sense; within it glide Primrosy coolness, bluebell-trembling shyness, Violet-benediction; if she speaks, It is a sigh unbosomed with such music That far and wide the forests and the farms Whisper, Arouse; 'tis God. Having this love, Poor cheating Folly, should I wait on you? | 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 ALMSWOMEN by EDMUND CHARLES BLUNDEN |
