MILLICENT, by ROBERT SEYMOUR BRIDGES Poet's Biography First Line: Thou dimpled millicent, of merry guesses Last Line: I feel thy hot tears sheltering on my face. Alternate Author Name(s): Bridges, Robert+(2) Subject(s): Love | ||||||||
Thou dimpled Millicent, of merry guesses, Strong-limb'd and tall, tossing thy wayward tresses, What mystery of the heart can so surprise The mirth and music of thy brimming eyes? Pale-brow, thou knowest not and diest to learn The mortal secret that doth in thee burn; With look imploring 'If you love me, tell, What is it in me that you love so well?' And suddenly thou stakest all thy charms, And leapest on me; and in thy circling arms When almost stifled with their wild embrace, I feel thy hot tears sheltering on my face. | Other Poems of Interest...NEW SEASON by MICHAEL S.
