LOVE, by EDWARD MOXON Poet's Biography First Line: There is a flower that never changeth hue Last Line: Thou only bloomest everlastingly! Subject(s): Flowers; Love | ||||||||
THERE is a flower that never changeth hue; In vain the angry winds its leaves assail; Triumphant over time, in every vale It lifts its hopeful head, glistering with dew. The maiden rears it in her own sweet looks; The youth conjures it in the summer shade, Pictures its image, as by murmuring brooks He flies from scenes that his chaste dreams invade. The very fields its presence own in spring; The hills re-echo with a song of gladness; The heavens themselves their store of tribute bring, And in this flower all things renounce their sadness. O Love! where is the heart that knows not thee? Thou only bloomest everlastingly! | 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 |
