WHY SHOULD I STRIVE TO EXPRESS IT?, by FREDERICK WILLIAM HENRY MYERS Poet's Biography Last Line: Not with her eyes! Alternate Author Name(s): Myers, Frederic Subject(s): Eyes; Beauty | ||||||||
Why should I strive to express it? What should I care? Ye will not know nor confess it How she was fair. Fades the song ere I begin it, Falters and dies:''" Ah! had you seen her a minute,''" Looked in her eyes! When she and I shall be lying Dust at your feet, Hours such as these shall be flying, Life be as sweet,''" Women as lovely hereafter, Tender and wise, Born with her bloom and her laughter,''" Not with her eyes! | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...VARIATIONS: 14 by CONRAD AIKEN DIVINELY SUPERFLUOUS BEAUTY by ROBINSON JEFFERS THE BEAUTY OF THINGS by ROBINSON JEFFERS HOPE IS NOT FOR THE WISE by ROBINSON JEFFERS LIFE FROM THE LIFELESS by ROBINSON JEFFERS REARMAMENT by ROBINSON JEFFERS SHANE ONEILLS CAIRN by ROBINSON JEFFERS ON A GRAVE AT GRINDELWALD by FREDERICK WILLIAM HENRY MYERS |
