O PRECIOUS MUSE, by DELLA MCDANIEL First Line: Had I, when I was younger Last Line: A modest hour with you. Subject(s): Creative Ability; Life; Love; Muses; Writing & Writers; Inspiration; Creativity | ||||||||
Had I, when I was younger, Known You, and eased the Hunger "That which is death to hide", Before my ebbing tide My pen would now be stronger, For having known you longer. But as it is not so, There is nothing I know To do, but be content With life for having spent, When day is almost through, A modest hour with You. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...POEM FOR JAMES WRIGHT by ROBERT BLY THE CHINESE PEAKS; FOR DONALD HALL by ROBERT BLY THE GAIETY OF FORM by ROBERT BLY WAITING FOR THE STARS by ROBERT BLY A PARIS BLACKBIRD by LAURE-ANNE BOSSELAAR A SUNDAY DRIVE THROUGH EAGLE COUNTRY by LAURE-ANNE BOSSELAAR FALLEN by LAURE-ANNE BOSSELAAR GENTLY BENT TO EASE US'; FOR BILL KNOTT by NORMAN DUBIE FOR RANDALL JARRELL, 1914-1965 by NORMAN DUBIE A YARD-FENCE AND FLOWER-BEDS by DELLA MCDANIEL |
