SONGS OF THE SEA CHILDREN: 51, by BLISS CARMAN Poet's Biography First Line: A touch of your hair, and my heart was furled Last Line: The right of the soul to the kingdom of love. Subject(s): Love | ||||||||
A touch of your hair, and my heart was furled; A drift of fragrance, and noon stood still; All of a sudden the fountain there Had something to whisper the sun on the hill. Rose of the garden of God's desire, Only the passionate years can prove With sorrow and rapture and toil and tears The right of the soul to the kingdom of love. | 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 MORE ANCIENT MARINER by BLISS CARMAN |
