IN AN AUTUMN WOOD, by WILLIAM ALEXANDER PERCY Poet's Biography First Line: Thou, too, o bronze-eyed darling of the feast Last Line: I love thy loveliness that hears no cry. Subject(s): Autumn; Hearts; Love; Pain; Seasons; Fall; Suffering; Misery | ||||||||
Thou, too, O bronze-eyed darling of the feast, Under the deep, brown leaves and faded sky At last wilt lie, Forgetful of the joy thy beauty leased. But ere that time, how many times, alas, Wilt thou with careless hand sweep all the vain, Taut strings of pain That are my heart nor hear the hurt chords pass. Almost I wish to-day that thou didst lie Beyond the leaves, unsummonably still -- So well, so ill I love thy loveliness that hears no cry. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...PARTHENOPHIL AND PARTHENOPHE: MADRIGAL 14 by BARNABE BARNES SONNETS IN SHADOWS: 1 by ARLO BATES IN PRAISE OF PAIN by HEATHER MCHUGH THE SYMPATIZERS by JOSEPHINE MILES LEEK STREET by LAURE-ANNE BOSSELAAR OVERTONES by WILLIAM ALEXANDER PERCY |
