LOVE SONG, by NORMAN ROWLAND GALE Poet's Biography First Line: Her breast is snow with sun thereon Last Line: To peace and paradise. Subject(s): Love | |||
HER breast is snow with sun thereon, Her eyes than Indian stars more fair; Her little ears are pink pearls caught In glossy nets of falling hair. I love her robe that skims the grass, I love those lips that shine with glee; But most I love the wise young heart Uncaptured in captivity. No tame and tutored echo she Of all upon her lover's lips: She scorns to bear across her soul The changeless shadow of eclipse! But, full of fire and living help, Discovers to my blinder eyes Green alleys that will lead me on To peace and Paradise. | 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 COUNTRY FAITH by NORMAN ROWLAND GALE |
