Cease, fair Aurelia, cease to mourn. Lament not Hannah's happy state; You may be happy in your turn, And seize the treasure you regret. With love united Hymen stands, And softly whispers to your charms, "Meet but your lover in my bands, You'll find your sister in his arms." | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...A BLESSING FOR A WEDDING by JANE HIRSHFIELD A SUITE FOR MARRIAGE by DAVID IGNATOW ADVICE TO HER SON ON MARRIAGE by MARY BARBER THE RABBI'S SON-IN-LAW by SABINE BARING-GOULD KISSING AGAIN by DORIANNE LAUX A TIME PAST by DENISE LEVERTOV ODE ON THE POETICAL CHARACTER by WILLIAM COLLINS (1721-1759) ODE ON THE POPULAR SUPERSTITIONS OF THE HIGHLANDS OF SCOTLAND by WILLIAM COLLINS (1721-1759) |
