LOVE IS BEST, by WILFRID SCAWEN BLUNT Poet Analysis Poet's Biography First Line: Dare all things for love's sake, since love is best Last Line: Answers for both and is of time the master. Subject(s): Love | |||
DARE all things for Love's sake, since love is best, Of Fate ask nothing, rather by your deeds Rebuke it for its niggard ways unblest, And trust to Love to shield you in your needs. Remember in the shade of the new years Only what Love has given. This shall be Daily your dole, a safeguard from your tears, Outwitting change and Time's inconstancy. —Knock loudly at Love's door. He is awake. Offer him roses. 'Tis his month of June. Watch all his ways. Do worship for his sake. Seek out his service. He shall serve you soon. Know this of Love, who fears not Fate's disaster Answers for both and is of Time the master. | 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 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.
