SONG, by AARON HILL Poet Analysis Poet's Biography First Line: Oh! Forbear to bid me slight her Last Line: Blind, I hear I am undone. Subject(s): Love | |||
OH! forbear to bid me slight her, Soul and senses take her part; Could my death itself delight her, Life should leap to leave my heart. Strong, though soft, a lover's chain, Charm'd with woe, and pleas'd with pain. Though the tender flame were dying, Love would light it at her eyes; Or, her tuneful voice applying, Through my ear my soul surprise. Deaf, I see the fate I shun; Blind, I hear I am undone. | 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 ALONE IN AN INN AT SOUTHAMPTON, APRIL 25, 1737 by AARON HILL |
