SONG, by ABBIE FARWELL BROWN Poet's Biography First Line: Oh, yes, I love you still, my lad Last Line: I love him still, my lad. Subject(s): Love | |||
OH, yes, I love you still, my lad, For that is woman's way; A whole life long of tenderness For the fancy of a day. I gave you golden loyalty And starry faith to wear. You gave me pearls that were my tears, And silver in my hair. You gave me something less than good, I gave the best I had. But yes -- the man I thought you were, I love him still, my lad. | 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 A CHARM SAID UNDER AN OAK by ABBIE FARWELL BROWN |
