FOR M. L. P., by OLIVE TILFORD DARGAN Poet's Biography First Line: Rose love lay dreaming where I passed Last Line: Now flames it gold. Alternate Author Name(s): Burke, Fielding Subject(s): Love | ||||||||
ROSE Love lay dreaming where I passed, Like flower blown from careless stem; So still I dared to touch at last Her white robe's hem. Rose Love looked up and caught my hand, Though in her eyes the sea-birds were; When o'er my brow there blew a strand Of cold, grey hair. Rose Love stood up unriddling this, Till shadows in my eyes grew old; Then warmed the lock with sudden kiss; Now flames it gold. | 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 THE PATH-FLOWER by OLIVE TILFORD DARGAN |
