SONG, by WILLIAM KING First Line: You say you love; repeat again Last Line: And falls into his arms. Subject(s): Love | ||||||||
YOU say you love; repeat again, Repeat th' amazing sound, Repeat the ease of all my pain, The cure of every wound. What you to thousands have denied, To me you freely give; Whilst I in humble silence died Your mercy bids me live. So upon Latmos top each night Endymion sighing lay, Gaz'd on the moon's transcendent light, Despair'd, and durst not pray. But divine Cynthia saw his grief, Th' effect of conquering charms, Unask'd the goddess brings relief, And falls into his arms. | 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 THE BEGGAR WOMAN by WILLIAM KING |
