I COULD, by ELIZABETH WARREN JONES First Line: I could live riotously / from sun to sun Last Line: As moonlight on a frosted sill. Subject(s): Free Will & Determinism | |||
I could live riotously From sun to sun; I could walk the broad, free path -- Shun the narrow one. I could snatch with ruthless hand All that comes my way -- Were it right or were it wrong -- It were mine to pay. I could arm my woman's wit With a sword of flame, Match my skill with Satan In a subtle game -- Yet, here I lie as white and still As moonlight on a frosted sill. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...PRO FEMINA: ONE by CAROLYN KIZER MIDWAY by WILLIAM DEAN HOWELLS AMORETTI: 67 by EDMUND SPENSER ONE WOMAN by ELIZABETH WARREN JONES THE NIGHT OF TRAFALGAR by THOMAS HARDY THE WRECK OF THE HESPERUS by HENRY WADSWORTH LONGFELLOW THE ROSE (2) by CHRISTINA GEORGINA ROSSETTI ODES: BOOK 1: ODE 2.
