A WOMAN'S SONNETS: 9, by WILFRID SCAWEN BLUNT Poet Analysis Poet's Biography First Line: The day draws nigh, methinks, when I could stay Last Line: The love-light in thine eyes, and not for me. Subject(s): Love - Loss Of | ||||||||
The day draws nigh, methinks, when I could stay Calm in thy presence with no dream of ill, When, having put all earthliness away, I could be near thee, touching thee, and still Feel no mad throbbing at my foolish heart, No sudden rising of unbidden tears, Could mark thee come and go, to meet or part, Without the gladness and without the fears. Have patience with me then for this short space. I shall be wise, but may not yet unmoved See a strange woman put into my place And happy in thy love, as I was loved: This were too much. Ah, let me not yet see The love-light in thine eyes, and not for me. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...ROSE AND MURRAY by CONRAD AIKEN THOUGH WE NO LONGER POSSESS IT by MARK JARMAN THE GLORY OF THE DAY WAS IN HER FACE by JAMES WELDON JOHNSON LOVE COME AND GONE by GEORGIA DOUGLAS JOHNSON CHAMBER MUSIC: 28 by JAMES JOYCE CHAMBER MUSIC: 33 by JAMES JOYCE A SCOTCH SONG by JOANNA BAILLIE ESTHER; A YOUNG MAN'S TRAGEDY: 50 by WILFRID SCAWEN BLUNT ESTHER; A YOUNG MAN'S TRAGEDY: 51 by WILFRID SCAWEN BLUNT THE LOVE SONNETS OF PROTEUS: 110.
