THE WALTZ, by ARTHUR PETERSON Poet's Biography First Line: When in my arms thou restest, / as round we go, and round Last Line: Juanita, round and round! Subject(s): Dancing & Dancers | |||
When in my arms thou restest, As round we go, and round, (Like some sweet bird thou nestest, Lulled by the music's sound,) When in my arms thou dreamest, As round and round we go, Juanita, dear, thou seemest A spirit here below. So light thy every motion -- Thy step that follows mine -- Oh on some fairy ocean We seem to float, divine! Would it might cease, ah never, This music's rapturous sound! Would we could waltz forever, Juanita, round and round! | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...FAMED DANCER DIES OF PHOSPHORUS POISONING by RICHARD HOWARD ROSE AND MURRAY by CONRAD AIKEN A DANCER'S LIFE by DONALD JUSTICE DANCING WITH THE DOG by SUSAN KENNEDY SONG FROM A COUNTRY FAIR by LEONIE ADAMS THE CHILDREN DANCING by LAURENCE BINYON A CLOUD FANCY by ARTHUR PETERSON |
