MY WISH FOR THEE, by OLIVER MURRAY EDWARDS First Line: Sweet maiden, I wonder, as time passes by Last Line: Life's brambles be laden with roses for thee. Subject(s): Wishes | |||
Sweet maiden, I wonder, as time passes by If there's ever a thought or tear in thine eye For past loves or friendships, whichever they be, Do they live in thy heart still sacred to thee? May blessings from Heaven descend upon thee With gold from the mountains and pearls from the sea, May sunshine enfold thee with beauty untold 'Til earth blends with Heaven in crimson and gold. May the fires of thy love burn constant and true, God's mountains and lakes grow more fair to thy view, May the songs of thy heart ring joyous and free, Life's brambles be laden with roses for thee. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...O TO BE A DRAGON by MARIANNE MOORE FOUNTAIN IN AVIGNON by LAURE-ANNE BOSSELAAR THE HOUR BETWEEN DOG AND WOLF: 1.
