SECOND BOOK OF AIRS: SONG 10, by THOMAS CAMPION Poet Analysis Poet's Biography First Line: What harvest half so sweet is Last Line: None can deny us. Subject(s): Harvest; Kisses | |||
WHAT harvest half so sweet is As still to reap the kisses Grown ripe in sowing? And straight to be receiver Of that which thou art giver, Rich in bestowing? Kiss then, my Harvest Queen, Full garners heaping! Kisses, ripest when th' are green, Want only reaping. The dove alone expresses Her fervency in kisses, Of all most loving: A creature as offenceless As those things that are senseless And void of moving. Let us so love and kiss, Though all envy us: That which kind, and harmless is, None can deny us. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...CHAMBER MUSIC: 31 by JAMES JOYCE CHAMBER MUSIC: 34 by JAMES JOYCE KISSING AGAIN by DORIANNE LAUX PROMISES, PROMISES by PAUL MULDOON THE CITY OF THE OLESHA FRUIT by NORMAN DUBIE PENDULUM by GEORGIA DOUGLAS JOHNSON A BOOK OF AIRS: SONG 9 by THOMAS CAMPION |
