AN ENGLISH GIRL, by F. WYVILLE HOME First Line: Speak, quiet lips, and utter forth my fate Last Line: Or let the cold green wave go over me. Subject(s): Beauty | ||||||||
SPEAK, quiet lips, and utter forth my fate; Before thy beauty I bow down, I kneel, Girl, and to thee my life I dedicate, And seal the past up with a dateless seal. What delicate hours and seasons without storm Have nursed thee, and what happy English dale? For tenderer is thy light and gracile form Than any snowy wind-flower of the vale. O wild-flower, though the bee that drinks thy wine Must soar past crags that front the leaping sea, I climb to thee; thy beauty shall be mine; Or let the cold green wave go over me. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...VARIATIONS: 14 by CONRAD AIKEN DIVINELY SUPERFLUOUS BEAUTY by ROBINSON JEFFERS THE BEAUTY OF THINGS by ROBINSON JEFFERS HOPE IS NOT FOR THE WISE by ROBINSON JEFFERS LIFE FROM THE LIFELESS by ROBINSON JEFFERS REARMAMENT by ROBINSON JEFFERS SHANE ONEILLS CAIRN by ROBINSON JEFFERS DOVER CLIFF by F.
