AN IDLE SONG, by AMELIA JOSEPHINE BURR First Line: Free living, free giving, may scarce be undone Last Line: But the love that is given, none taketh again. | ||||||||
FREE living, free giving, may scarce be undone. What magic recaptures the rays of the sun? They are fled, they are sped to the eyelids of men, And the light that is given, none taketh again. Sap springing, lark singing, and young hearts afire With the tender green flame of an April desire. It may die, it may lie like brown reeds in the fen, But the love that is given, none taketh again. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...A MINOR POET by AMELIA JOSEPHINE BURR A MIRACLE by AMELIA JOSEPHINE BURR A POET by AMELIA JOSEPHINE BURR A POET ENLISTS by AMELIA JOSEPHINE BURR A SPRING SYMPHONY by AMELIA JOSEPHINE BURR A WISH by AMELIA JOSEPHINE BURR ABBOTSFORD by AMELIA JOSEPHINE BURR ALLAH IS WITH THE PATIENT by AMELIA JOSEPHINE BURR AMORINO by AMELIA JOSEPHINE BURR AND THE COCK CREW by AMELIA JOSEPHINE BURR |
