SONGS OF THE SEA CHILDREN: 64, by BLISS CARMAN Poet's Biography
First Line: I knew, by that diviner sense
Last Line: To glad one mortal lover more.
Subject(s): Beauty; Passion
First Line: I knew, by that diviner sense
Last Line: To glad one mortal lover more.
Subject(s): Beauty; Passion
I knew, by that diviner sense
Which wakes to beauty sweet and lone,
Once more beneath the moonlit boughs
Astarte had unloosed her zone;
Immortal passion, fair and wild,
Remembering her joys of yore,
Had taken on the human guise
To glad one mortal lover more.
