THE COMING OF LOVE, by WILFRID SCAWEN BLUNT Poet Analysis Poet's Biography First Line: You ask me how this wonder came about Last Line: His grace should find. And so I serve him still. Subject(s): Love - Beginnings | |||
YOU ask me how this wonder came about. 'Twas thus it happened: I, that day, alone Still weak and wrapped in white and without thought, Had wandered forth towards the dial stone. No voice had told me to prepare a throne For my King's coming; neither had I wrought New robes for him, nor woven any crown, Nor any speech my stammering lips had taught. He came unheralded. His dark eyes were His only messengers for my delight. These told me of his presence and his will, And bade me fear not I was less than fair, But that ever more thus clothed in white His grace should find. And so I serve him still. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...WHY I MIGHT GO TO THE NEXT FOOTBALL GAME by DENIS JOHNSON THE POOL by ALEXANDER ANDERSON COZY APOLOGIA; FOR FRED by RITA DOVE YOU NOW HOLDING THIS BOOK IN HAND by ALICE NOTLEY FALLING IN LOVE IN SPAIN OR MEXICO by RON PADGETT WHEN LOVE WAS BORN by SARA TEASDALE 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.
