PARDON, by GUSTAVE KAHN Poet's Biography First Line: I shall set bracelets on your arms Last Line: And the assent of beauty's queen. Subject(s): Forgiveness; Clemency | ||||||||
I shall set bracelets on your arms, a necklace on your shoulders' charms; my lips upon your lips redeem and with my fever seal your dream; inspirit all your gaiety with all the tipsy soul of me, and crown the tumult of your hair with acclamations I shall bear from superseded, lorn trouvere. Then I shall seek your pardon for so poorly having sung the store of perfumed sovereign grace serene and the assent of beauty's queen. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...FORGIVING MY FATHER by LUCILLE CLIFTON WHAT WE CARRY; FOR DONALD by DORIANNE LAUX THE MAN WITH THE HOE OUTWITTED by EDWIN MARKHAM SPOON RIVER ANTHOLOGY: ELMER BARR by EDGAR LEE MASTERS |
