RENEWAL, by NORMAN ROWLAND GALE Poet's Biography First Line: Lake notice, cupid! Far too long Last Line: Swam in a mist of melted sighs. Subject(s): Aging; Desire; Man-woman Relationships; Male-female Relations | ||||||||
TAKE notice, Cupid! Far too long My heart has quivered at your song, And brooded, brooded on the curls And dimples of disastrous girls. The time has come to sit and see Bright youngsters, used as Love used me, All begging heartache for a loaa To drag along your hilly road. This I said yesterday, before Clarinda drove me to adore The little violet rivers in The lilied country of her skin, And bade her cherried underlip (Heart-wounding mischiefmaker!) slip To pathos, while her sea-blue eyes Swam in a mist of melted sighs. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...MISERY AND SPLENDOR by ROBERT HASS THE APPLE TREES AT OLEMA by ROBERT HASS DOUBLE SONNET by ANTHONY HECHT CONDITIONS XXI by ESSEX HEMPHILL CALIFORNIA SORROW: MOUNTAIN VIEW by MARY KINZIE SUPERBIA: A TRIUMPH WITH NO TRAIN by MARY KINZIE COUNSEL TO UNREASON by LEONIE ADAMS TWENTY QUESTIONS by DAVID LEHMAN THE COUNTRY FAITH by NORMAN ROWLAND GALE |
