LUI. AH lady, lady, leave the creeping mist, And leave the iron castle by the sea! ELLE. Nay, from the sea there came a ghost that kissed My lips, and so I cannot come to thee! LUI. Ah lady, leave the cruel landward wind That crusts the blighted flowers with bitter foam ELLE. Nay, for his arms are cold and strong to bind, And I must dwell with him and make my home! LUI. Come, for the Spring is fair in Joyous Guard And down deep alleys sweet birds sing again. ELLE. But I must tarry with the winter hard, And with the bitter memory of pain, Although the Spring be fair in Joyous Guard, And in the gardens glad birds sing again! | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...MISERY AND SPLENDOR by ROBERT HASS THE APPLE TREES AT OLEMA by ROBERT HASS DOUBLE SONNET by ANTHONY HECHT CONDITIONS XXI by ESSEX HEMPHILL CALIFORNIA SORROW: MOUNTAIN VIEW by MARY KINZIE SUPERBIA: A TRIUMPH WITH NO TRAIN by MARY KINZIE COUNSEL TO UNREASON by LEONIE ADAMS TWENTY QUESTIONS by DAVID LEHMAN |
