SONGS OF THE SEA CHILDREN: 78, by BLISS CARMAN Poet's Biography First Line: Dearest, in this so golden fall Last Line: Will neither have contempt for me. Subject(s): Love | ||||||||
Dearest, in this so golden fall, When beauty aches with her own bliss, One thought the pause to my desire And my small consolation is. I am a child. A thistle seed On the boon wind is more than I, Yet will the hand that sows the hills Have care of me too when I die. When I who love thee without words Sink as a foam-bell in the sea, One who has no regard for fame Will neither have contempt for me. | 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 |
