YOUNG LOVE, by WILLIAM MOTHERWELL Poet Analysis Poet's Biography First Line: It seems a dream the infant love Last Line: Thorrow my being glide! Alternate Author Name(s): Brown, Isaac Subject(s): Love - Beginnings | ||||||||
IT seems a dream the infant love that tamed my truant will, But 'twas a dream of happiness, And I regret it still! Its images are part of me, A very part of mind -- Feelings and fancies beautiful In purity combined! Time's sunset lends a tenderer tinge To what those feelings were, Like the cloud-mellow'd radiance Which evening landscapes bear: They wedded are unto my soul, As light is blent with heat, Or as the hallowed confluence Of air with odours sweet. Though she, the spirit of that dream, Lacks of the loveliness Young fancy robed her in, yet I May hardly love her less: Even when as in my boyish time I nestled by her side, Her ever gentle impulses Thorrow my being glide! | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...WHY I MIGHT GO TO THE NEXT FOOTBALL GAME by DENIS JOHNSON THE POOL by ALEXANDER ANDERSON COZY APOLOGIA; FOR FRED by RITA DOVE YOU NOW HOLDING THIS BOOK IN HAND by ALICE NOTLEY FALLING IN LOVE IN SPAIN OR MEXICO by RON PADGETT WHEN LOVE WAS BORN by SARA TEASDALE JEANIE MORRISON by WILLIAM MOTHERWELL |
