THE grace of the moon is Born monthly, my dear, If our light the less soon is Put out, re-appear Will it never Nor ever In thin crescence peep To dispel the long sleep. Then, while we are living, Tease not but kiss; A thousand times giving Renewal of bliss: Neither measured Nor treasured Can love be, whose grace More embraceth than space. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...IN 'THE BOOK OF LOVES' (OF PIERRE DE RONSARD) by JOSE-MARIA DE HEREDIA (1842-1905) ON PIERRE RONSARD'S BOOK OF LOVE by JOSE-MARIA DE HEREDIA (1842-1905) RONSARD'S GRAVE by ANDREW LANG VARIATION ON RONSARD: 2 by THOMAS STURGE MOORE BEAUTIFUL MEALS by THOMAS STURGE MOORE SILENCE SINGS by THOMAS STURGE MOORE THE DYING SWAN by THOMAS STURGE MOORE THESEUS by THOMAS STURGE MOORE |
