THE INVADER, by RUTH A. HARTZELL First Line: I built a wall around my heart Last Line: For there love tried to hide. Subject(s): Love | |||
I built a wall around my heart, A wall so tall and strong -- I never thought a cupid's dart Could enter there at all; I did forget to lock the gate, And left that swinging wide -- When I returned, it was too late, For there love tried to hide. | 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 MAKING BELIEVE by RUTH A.
