THE LOVE SONNETS OF PROTEUS: 45. FAREWELL TO JULIET (7), by WILFRID SCAWEN BLUNT Poet Analysis Poet's Biography First Line: Do you remember how I laughed at you Last Line: Entered our hearts that instant like a sword. | ||||||||
Do you remember how I laughed at you In the Beaulieu woods, and how I made my peace? It was your thirtieth birthday, and you threw Stones like a school-girl at the chestnut trees. The heavens were light above us and the breeze. Your Corydon and all the merry crew Had wandered to a distance, busier bees Than we, who cared not where the hazels grew. We were alone at last. I had been teasing You with the burden of years left behind. You were too fair to find my wit displeasing, And I too tender to be less than kind. Your pebbles struck me. "Wretch," I cried. The word Entered our hearts that instant like a sword. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...ESTHER; A YOUNG MAN'S TRAGEDY: 51 by WILFRID SCAWEN BLUNT THE LOVE SONNETS OF PROTEUS: 110.
